I bike as my primary transportation, and I get angry at other cyclists on a near-daily basis. I've even yelled "You're the reason people hate bicyclists!" at a cyclist once.

It wasn't always like this. A decade ago, bicyclists in my town were actually very good. Then the cops stopped writing tickets to cyclists who broke traffic laws, and things went downhill fast.

I wish they'd start writing tickets again.

I also drive, and I understand the anger from drivers. But abusing the cyclists does literally nothing to improve the situation. Making a big stink about citing cyclists might.
