I fully understand how sensitive of a subject this can be. And depending on your personal viewpoint your stance varies quite heavily.
I typically stay very muted on such topics, and I can understand both sides. But recently after visiting San Francisco the other day I think at some point a fair discussion should be had but if I'm being honest, after one day driving in SF I feel very strongly on this matter, so let me just say...
[spoiler]Those bicyclist mother-blam- deserve to be hit. Seriously those people want all the benefits but none of the work!!! Take up half the road then you don't even follow the rules of the road.
You go full speed through a red light with zero hesitation and then get mad when you almost cause an accident because being on a bike makes you so damn superior! Screw you bicyclists! You all suck!
Blowing through red lights and stop signs, oh but you're in car so the insurance automatically says you're in the wrong even though I'm not following the law that requires bicyclists to obey the rules of the road.
Dear bicyclists, I don't think... You are good people.[/spoiler]

I don’t know the specific thing you’re referencing, however… As someone who used to cycle my commute, but gave up cycling after getting hit by a car (driver didn’t look pulling out at a junction), I can tell you there are drivers, cyclists and pedestrians who don’t look out for others. Most people I encountered on my commute were drivers, so most of the problems I dealt with were bad drivers. Some of them just weren’t paying attention and some of them didn’t know the Highway Code (rules of the road here in the UK). The worst were the ones who used their car aggressively, but thankfully that was extremely rare. I find the whole drivers vs cyclists vs pedestrians thing dumb (from any side), but the absolute dumbest part is when people advocate violence and injury.
