And I don't. I call it how I see it for all road users.
Well I'm a motorcyclist and cyclist, I've spent many more years on two wheels than four.
Whoa, you are very wide of the mark. At least where I'm from, the vast, VAST majority of motorists bumble along just fine without breaking many rules let alone laws, and cause remarkably few problems. It's easy to forget this, or it escapes your notice completely. But next time you're out, just take a moment to watch and take in just how uneventful most driving is.
Cyclists, on the other hand, have taken on a culture of INHERENTLY unsafe riding. MOST of them ride dangerously, doing such things as changing position without looking, or even when they KNOW it's unsafe, because "it's motorist's responsibility to prevent accidents."
They are also consistently selfish, infringing other people's rights "because they can" and they use their vulnerability as a weapon to force motorists to back down.
Such people are scum. When motorists act that way they are universally condemned. When cyclists act that way people come out with the BS "they're only cyclists" defence.
Sorry, that's just another BS "just cyclists" argument. Either follow the rules of the road, which are for everyone's benefit, or get off the road.
Cyclist's actions have knock on effects. Cyclist moves into path of car without warning... car serves... pedestrian gets run down and killed.
There's no excuse for recklessness.
It is an offence to obstruct traffic (not criminal offence though?)
Annoyance is an understatement. They were inciting road rage.

Hehehehehehehehehehehe This is fun ...
Lets see now .... Where to start ?
All road users ? ( Thats not my perspective on your posts ) But thats neither here nor there ..
Motor Bikes and Cycles = I am happy you were not mushed on the road ..
Shonky = Hmmmm , well .. Perspective and numbers .. I can only speak for my own country and experience ..
Since car drivers outnumber cyclists by quite a large margin , Let me google it ...
Cant find such info ....
But here is something I found from the Adelaide Advertiser ....
+ There were a whole bunch of other articles , like : Why do car drivers think they can kill cyclists ?
But I found this interesting ... And its only relevant for Adelaide - Australia ...
FOUR in every five crashes between cars and bicycles are caused by the driver of the car,
police statistics show.
The study by Adelaide University's Centre for Automotive Safety Research could end the
long-running debate between drivers and cyclists about who is to blame for accidents.
Researcher Tori Lindsay studied the cause of bicycle accidents from
police statistics after a large increase from 12 per cent of all crashes resulting in hospital admission in 2001 to 17.4 per cent in 2010.
The study focused on the most serious injuries - 61 patients at the Royal Adelaide Hospital who were the victims of collisions with cars from 2008-2010.
"M
ore than 85 per cent of the cyclists in the study were identified as travelling straight on a single carriageway with the intention of continuing straight at the time of the crash," Ms Lindsay said.
"Drivers of vehicles, however, were more likely to be turning,
with more than 64 per cent of all drivers undertaking a turn manoeuvre into or out of another roadway at the time of the crash."
Bicycle SA chief executive Christian Haag said the results showed a need for greater education and compliance, mainly for drivers.
"It is also important for cyclists to educate themselves and not just jump on a bike when they turn 45 because their doctor has told them to do some exercise," he said.
Cyclist Jurgen Klus said motorist behaviour improved during the Tour Down Under but quickly returned to normal afterwards.
"
You don't keep statistics when you are riding but you see plenty of near-misses in which the driver doesn't even know they have almost caused an accident."
The most serious injuries incurred by cyclists were fractures, followed by those who sustained internal organ injuries. Close to a third of cyclists experienced a loss of consciousness following the crash.
By far the most crashes, four in every 10 of the crashes in the study, involved an oncoming vehicle turning right across the path of a cyclist who was continuing straight.
In six out of 10 crashes, the vehicle driver was crossing two or more traffic lanes while turning right.
In two in every 10 crashes, cyclists ran into cars that were turning from the stem of a T-junction.
Collisions between a vehicle and a cyclist travelling in the same direction were the third most-common movements leading to crashes in the study, totalling one in every 10 crashes.
T-intersections were the most dangerous locations for crashes, followed by straight roads, and signalled intersections.
Drivers were at fault in 79 per cent of crashes and cyclists 21 per cent.
