It's not that people are trying to be mean because they hate cyclists. It's that they don't take them seriously.
I think a lot of the views here are dictated by what geographic region you come from.
People on the East are not as receptive to alternate means of transportation like they
are from Oregon or Washington for instnance.....In Pa you are a nusance that is
acted upon all too often. So...in the East I would say people not only dont take cyclists
seriously but are angry towards them too. When I rode a motorcycle to work I had a
woman complain that the bike shouldnt be taking up a parking spot in front of the building,
they are for cars.
