Thankfully its a minority.

Very true..I guess many drivers have the "mob rule" mentality...we are the majority so all others must fit in with our likes,but personally I have two issues with cyclists ( and really road users in general). If you are a road user then follow the rules,they are there so we all know what's going on, and can for see what others will be doing,theoretically no surprises. Now,if you are a cyclist your not a road user until you see a red traffic light and then suddenly become a pedestrian and ride on the footpaths or ride up between two stationary lanes of traffic so you can get up the front and then sit in the pedestrian crossing areas...or better still ignore the red light coz stopping is gonna mess with your cardio workout or your timed ride..it's likely gonna mess up a whole lot more than that of you get hit...and secondly don't strut around in the local coffee shops with yer tackle wrapped in Lycra,it really ain't a good look and turns me right off my brekkie!!

There's bad attitudes a plenty on the roads,certainly the average law abiding cyclist cops more than their fair share of abuse,but there's idiots everywhere,drivers,cyclists,pedestrians,no mode of transport is immune from idiot users. And dont start me about the floggers on Harleys who deem it cool to run straight thru pipes and make them sound like a fart in a wind tunnel while riding around towns,try that trick with a classic car and see how far you get with out police attention yet they seem to keep on going ..rant over
