Perhaps it's because SUV people have security issues. They say that more woman buy SUVs then men because they like to feel more powerful on the road with a higher seating perspective. Perhaps that need for more power translates into cycling hostility.
Or perhaps people who drive SUVs are just in general more ass***ish.... ::shrugs::
wow, I have noticed that too, I live in chicago , and people in SUVs have called me terrible names, cut me off and honked at me. I think they need to relax more and realize cyclists have the same rights they do.
