If you don’t get regaled with stories about the friend’s poor experience of some cyclist on the street, you instead get, “Oh, you should be careful. One of my friends nearly died when he was cut up by a car last month,” or some such. Surely, that’s the appropriate time for the story-teller to go round all his motorist friends with a bone to pick about “their lot,” but no, it’s the cyclist who gets the bad news, every time.

It’s not about the bike. It’s not about the car. A road-hog is a road-hog, regardless of what type of vehicle he/she uses.

There’s some pretty daft pedestrians too, but it’s difficult to allocate them to a “tribe”, ‘cos that’s all of us.
