As a cyclist who prides himself on being calm and restrained, I'm always upset whenever I read (literally) any article about cyclists and drivers on the internet. In Philadelphia there has been a lot of tension between the groups and several local news websites have a serious anti-bike bias both in their articles and in their comments. Wishes to ram bicyclists off the road are commonly expressed, and every sweeping generalization is backed up by some anecdotal evidence. MOST of my friends have been hit-and-run by cars at this point (injuries up to a broken arm) and we're not bike punks or teenagers or activists just adults trying to get to work. Look at the comments in this article too: "a lot of cyclist do do infuriating, selfish things", "I still find myself enraged at cyclists when I drive", "Get the hell out of my way!", "It becomes enraging when they break traffic laws" It seems most people behind the wheel of a car, or even bike, become ENRAGED the second they have to tap the breaks a little. People need to relax and see the injurable PEOPLE operating the vehicles around them. Sadly I don't think this article gets to the deeper issue.
