Ive seen motorists cut in front of city buses b/c they cant be inconvenienced for longer than 2 minutes, b/c they're in such a big f»1_(_ hurry to go NO PLACE. If the place they're trying to get to is closing soon, LEAVE EARLIER, not hard to comprehend, but folks seem to have issues with that. IMO, everyone's in a big damn hurry. Ive seen drivers "accidentally"(wink wink) open doors on cyclists, tail gate them, taunt them, throw things at them, why? Because they've been inconvenienced for a whole 10 seconds. I'm sure others have seen the same and worse, so why would anyone question why most cyclists despise motorists? I just don't get it.
And the irony is that the truth is that most of them truly do not mean us any harm. But as has been said plenty of times before all it take is one bad apple (as it were) to spoil the whole bushel, or we remember the negatives longer than we do the positives.
