I drive a motor vehicle and I ride a bike, and vice-versa… When I’m in my Jeep, and see a bicyclist on the road, I always think in terms of how that bicyclist would like to be treated… When I’m on my bicycle, I always think in terms of how would a motorist react to what I am doing, and act accordingly.
I think one of the biggest problems is, that many non-driving bicyclist forget what it’s like to be a motorist, and many motorist forget what it was like trying to ride a bike on the street with a bunch of motorist. In my opinion the best of both bicyclist, and motorist are the ones that both ride, and drive… that way they understand the demands of both.
As someone else said... maybe the driver was a bicylist as well.
