>bullying from cyclists How on earth do cyclists "bully" drivers? Drivers aren't going to die if cyclists hit them.

  I think he's referring to the fact that some bikers are outwardly hostile to drivers, engaging in a kind of "share the road" fanaticism if they think you are, say, driving too closely or in any way not sufficiently deferential towards them.

  You're not using your imagination if the only way you can think of to bully someone is to threaten death :) I've seen a ton of hand gestures, cyclists physically hitting cars with their fists (or open-palm slaps), lots of yelling, and on one occasion I saw a cyclist stop in front of a car, dismount, and walk around to the driver's side to demand he roll the window down in order to engage in a verbal confrontation. When you ride your bike to and from work every day for 7 years you see a lot of stuff. Believe me, there are a lot of self-entitled cyclist bullies out there making things less safe for the rest of us.
