People on bikes may be rude and may not follow the rules, but can't be aggressive.
When a man with a .45 meets a man with a rifle, the man with a pistol will be a dead man.

I am normally a pedestrian and I fucking hate bikes as they are silent, fast and either used by 45+ old men that never got to do Tour de France or people with barley enough control to chew gum ans breath at the same time.

I won't be very sure about that. A pistol has better ADS afterall :P
Funnily, the exact opposite tends to happen to me a lot of times. With the cars just slowly closing in on me from the side.
No what I hate about bikes besides everyone saying it doesn't happen is them not following the rules of the road
Man, if only they had like a place to fuck off to, so they don't have to be on the road... Maybe like an area completely off the street? COUGHS IN DUTCH
like not parking or driving in the bike lanes ? Like not speeding on every street because of the "cushion" ?
like driving without a license ? or insurance ?
oh you were whining about the human powered vehicle not the one the needs gas/coal/oil. My bad.
Every time I take my bike I'm amazed at how many car drivers don't follow (or don't know) the rules about overtaking safely.
You only get to pass me if there is plenty of space and it's absolutely safe for both of us. Just because you're in a car doesn't mean you're entitled to squeeze past and nearly run me over.
Sometimes, though rarely, they even come to a complete stop at the slow down sign.
This comic is woefully inaccurate. There's no way there are three people in that car. Also it's not a car, it's an SUV or a truck.
ALLAHU HANDLEBARS!!!
I've lived in a city...well two major cities and I did drive. I definitely noticed a difference between conscientious cyclists and oblivious cyclists... Which if I'm being completely honest I always gave space because safety and I hope they never felt unsafe.
The lunatics are on scooters in traffic....good God man it seemed to be pure insanity.
