This is from a regularly scheduled Everglades Bike Club weekend ride in Key Biscayne, USA, on a 10km stretch of road, and all the drivers know to expect it will be there in the mornings.

      What I really seem to hate is just people with zero situational awareness operating any sort of vehicle.

      Personally speaking because I am both. Cyclists don’t obey the rules of the road to the same rigor as a car. Both parties are open to hate.

      Now that said, only one of them is in a 2 tonne death machine.

          Yeah and case in point a cyclist is rarely going to kill someone in a head on collision but a car will.

        Indeed, why should they? The rules of the road where made expressly for cars, not bikes, and there are several states which sensibly make carve outs for bicycles and motorcycles.

        But, as you point out, the risk for breaking the rules–real or perceived–fall entirely on the cyclist, so I absolutely see no equivalence.
