The only difference that I see is that there is usually less damage, less mass and a smaller frequency of occurrances with a cyclist as opposed to an SUV.

E.g. When 50 cyclists take up a lane. The only real difference is you don't really see 50 cyclists taking up a lane quite as often as the reverse scenario.
or when a cyclist races through an intersection that he should have stopped or slowed down at.
or when a cyclist gets off of his bike and bashes the window in or cusses at somebody nearly threatening to bash them with this clipped shoe.

I've heard of more horror stories of bad behavior from cyclists on this forum then I have ever experienced from all of the bad vehiculcar experiences I've had in all my time riding. I think people let it get to them a bit too much.
