...he as absolutely no concept of the mindset of cyclists. While there are a few self-righteous jerks among our ranks, most of the behavior he cites is not consciously intended to make a statement or piss-off drivers. In most cases, it's either accidental or due to cluelessness. In others, it's an expectation that "sharing the road" is more than a poster slogan. He also ignores the fact that it is the legal responsibility of drivers to be aware of their surrounding and potential road hazards, be they static (potholes, debris in the road) or moving (cyclists, pedestrians, wildlife).
