I've found that I don't mind cyclists on the road at all - I just pass them at the nearest opportunity maintaining appropriate distance. I don't think I ever experienced any sort of dangerous situation caused by a cyclist while driving.
I do hate having them in places meant for pedestrians though - I don't enjoy being passed at a few centimetre distance by something twice as fast as a jogger.
I've been to places that impose restrictions on cycling in pedestrianized areas. Example:

The experience of walking is so much better there.
Because of this I don't believe a truly walkable city should prioritize cycling. As with anything the asshole 5% ruin it for everyone else.

Besides red light crossing and driving on the wrong side of the road the worst thing i experienced were cyclist in the night without any light or reflective clothing and a drunk cyclist who decided to suddenly change direction, both on country roads. Fortunately, exept some very hard breaking and cursing, nothing happened.
