Stand up and be counted.

Apparently the number of aggressive cyclists on our roads has reached such a level that they now feature in a list of male motorists worries.

Maybe if they left us a bit more room, they'd have less to worry about us.

Good.

It's a shame the questions didn't seem to dig deep any deeper. It would have been illuminating to know what they think may be causing the cyclists aggression.

Do they define what an " aggressive cyclist " is ?

Is it their style of cycling or are they routinely peddling along hurling insults at timid motorists.?

Maybe taking primary position. Seems to upset a lot of motorist.

If I feel it's not safe, for me, to let them past, I'll take & hold primary as long as I'm moving as quick as they are.

They don't like it, tough.

Maybe they're existing. That seems to upset a lot of motorists.

It's because drivers watch videos on YouTube, innit.

Quite an irony, seeing as aggressive motorists have been hitting bicycle sales for 3 decades or more.

Aggression breeds aggression. And it works both ways.

They can hit sales as much as they want, so long as they stop hitting folk. Hit last night whilst walking across a light controlled crossing, with them in my favour. Flashing amber and the driver was off.

Don't be ridiculous. You want Some? Right, outside, now!

It's not "Cyclists" or "Motorists" or "Truckers", or whatever else. Many people are just more aggressive now and it does not matter what their mode of transport they will be peanuts. Of course the bigger the vehicle the more harm you can do, but I'd bet the finger wagging shout at everyone bike riders behave just the same when they drive a car.
