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::
maybe your taking up more space than needed.
I see some dumb cyclists taking up one lane at rush hour!
that would piss anyone off.
I tend to stick right to the side when im on my bike.
but becoming hostile towards the cyclists is just stupid.
maybe saying something like, "get f out of the way at rush time you ass monkey" wouldn't be that bad.
