I think perspective has everything to do with threads like this getting started; perhaps some of the negative attitude that some in the bike advocacy community have adopted comes from having a commuter/utilitarian-centric perspective. Not that I blame them, but changing my perspective over time has led me to agree with those that argue that the same inconsiderate cyclist is probably also an inconsiderate driver and vice-versa.
