"What a complete F*****NG idiot" ... yup.
But there is give and take. I remain horrified by cyclists on the road after dark without lights.
Cars don't do that - for a reason.
And a cyclist has no shell of metal around them.
Believe me when I say cyclists very much don't like to be in pinch points on the road with cars.
Uptown Waterloo, poor parking on King - and a complete lack of painted parking guides- all but ensures this.
Maybe folks buying SUVs should need to pass a skill -testing question- parallel parking.
In that situation, with 2 lanes each way available, I do in fact hog the whole lane.
That, or I can swerve suddenly as the lane narrows.
Also, the only reason I will very slowly cycle on the sidewalk uptown is because I occupy so much width if I walk it. I personally dislike cyclists that gun it fast past store entrances. Most folks don't have the good sense to look first when stepping out of stores.
Of course, I can still *pretend* not to see the cyclist- forcing him to swerve.
Serves them right.
Below is a typical sentiment.
