That's a nasty bias you have. Cyclists are clearly also "people trying to get somewhere". I'd argue they're trying harder than you are.
I won't defend all cyclists, some of them have bad etiquette for sure. I certainly don't have traffic piled up behind me. But I'd argue they've inconvenienced you far less than your car infrastructure has inconvenienced them. I promise if they had a separated fast bike lane to use, they'd be using that instead of getting blasted by cars and trucks and dealing with people angry they're late for their next stoplight.
If you want cyclists off your road, then you should be lobbying for better cycling infrastructure.
- ApolloFortyNine 4y agoThe cyclists in the US I see in a suburban area are almost all doing it for exercise (pretty obvious from the getup), not to get somewhere. In a more downtown area it's obviously different. >dealing with people angry they're late for their next stoplight. Sounds like you have some nasty bias yourself.
- yohannparis 4y agoFew people cyclists in the U.S.A. suburs are cycling for transport instead of sport... because of the infrastructure. Only mad cyclists dare their life for it! The danger while cycling is not the bike or falling down, it's the motorized users.

- matsemann 4y agoAnd why are people driving? Is their goal so much holier than whatever reason the bicyclist is out biking? Don't live your life thinking everything revolves around you.
- ehnto 4y ago> Sounds like you have some nasty bias yourself. Like most bike commuters I also drive, I know exactly what's waiting for anyone who's decided to be aggressive on their way past, and it's the next stop light. I'll probably see them there, and it'll be super awkward.
