While I guess that's a widely held belief, saying it is a bit baffling. It's not the cyclist's fault that the road was badly designed and doesn't take into account all of the road users.

If the state built a road that for some reason was only really suitable for yellow cars, others could use it but it was in some way worse for them, would the drivers then feel that they should just give up and ride the bus, or buy a yellow car? No, I suppose that they would raise hell over the state building a bad road. But for some reason when they build a road that's not suitable for cyclists, nobody really cares.
