My local problem with cyclists are ones who ride on the shoulder of fast narrow roads. Most of them are dressed up like they are cycling for the sake of cycling -- not trying to get somewhere. This behavior makes the automobile drivers less safe by causing them to move closer to oncoming traffic in the other lane. I may be able to see them and give them room but it doesn't mean the oncoming traffic understands what's going on -- especially when the roads are curvy. In those situations I feel like side swiping the cyclist would be preferable to a head-on collusion with an oncoming vehicle.
