Other cyclists are often annoying but, when it comes down to it, that's about it. Unlike the average badly driven urban battle tank, which might kill me. And cars in general. They pollute, the block pavements, they all manner of things that make the urban environment pretty awful. A cyclist skipping a red light? Whatever (and cars universally do the same, yet people complain endlessly about cyclists). Yeah, yeah, some cyclists are their own worst PR. I hate it when they thread through crossings on green etc. but to be honest, it's not murder-kill-death. And yes, I think the attitude of many cyclists can be intimidating to other less confident cyclists. But people are people. I'm not responsible for every other person on a bike. I'm responsible for me. I'd always, always rather put up with a twat on a bike than behind the wheel of an X5.
It's a weird perspective to be concerned about cyclists when there's something that directly kills 2,000 people a year and puts tens of thousands in hospital, leaves families broken and grieving, and costs us all many, many millions of pounds. And that's not even mentioning the indirect effects. Pollution kills, hospitalises, and worsens the quality of life. The anti-social effects of speeding and badly parked cars are manifest. The noise pollution for people who have misfortune to live near any kind of main road. Then there's the further symptoms of obesity, both from the reliance on the car, but also through urban environments that make walking and cycling unpalatable alternatives.
Yeah, but what about those cyclists going through red lights.
