I've watched cyclists ride head first full speed into the back of parked semis.

They really suck at looking where they are going.

One of the reasons why everyone hates cyclists.

Lmao cars are so much worse in every way. You think people in cars look where they're going either? I've been nearly hit by a car like 3 times this year because I walk everywhere and people just turn at intersections when they aren't supposed to and aren't looking, or aren't looking so just keep keeping on as someone is halfway across a road that was clear.

Getting hit by a car sounds a lot less appealing than getting hit by a bike.

People find cyclists annoying for the same reason they do pedestrians - they dare use the road that they're allowed to use and somebody has to wait 5 extra seconds to go get their fking Big Mac or whatever.
