    I absolutely agree that it isnt everyone and that there are plenty of asshole cyclists as well, I’ve had many a run in with them as well, but i definitely wouldnt say that the majority of people drive with care in my experience. You will always remember that one person that puts your life at risk over the 100s that don’t on each journey, but even among the hundreds I see countless people everyday driving using their phones and generally not paying attention to the task at hand.

    I guess I don’t know anyone that drives near to where I live so therefore the only wave I ever get is the middle finger salute! Still I’d rather they were pissed off with me for taking a defensive position in the road than them not see me and run me down!

        I agree that it would be very dependant on where you live. For the most part I’m thankful for where I am and that it isn’t too bad. I would not like to cycle in the USA, that’s for damn sure!
