Most cyclists are drivers as well. I often wonder how safe they are as drivers. Do they do all of the things as drivers that they themselves as cyclists insist drivers must do? Certainly not, in the case of the people I've seen on this very site saying that drivers should never take their eyes off the road (even to check a mirror apparently) or that they should never drive above walking speed lest someone jump out from behind a street light or mailbox in front of them. "If you hit someone it means you were driving too fast" is the usual version, ignoring these kinds of realities. Even without such hyperbole, I doubt that the bike bros I see every day on the path near my house are all that much mellower once they get behind the wheel. They're not interested in what's right or fair. They're just using the very real safety issues involving bikes to rationalize their preexisting sense of entitlement.
