Just because a lot of cyclists are assholes doesn't mean they should be battered and murdered.

Absolutely, I want to make it clear I a hundred percent agree with this. I got bowled over once by a chick riding a fixie through a red light in North Melbourne (hipster central) and I still think cyclists deserve the respect and care due to any road user. It's staggering how many people don't, for real. I think for a lot of that sort they'll use the excuse "well they don't pay road taxes!" to hate on cyclists, when really it's that they're jealous of how fit, active and non-dying-of-atherosclerosis they are.

Oh no, you were put out for three and a half minutes of your day once by a positive action group trying to get better facilities for everyone, better wish death on cyclists about it!

Thank you for making it clear that I was correct. A hoard of a hundred or so cyclists slamming through red light without looking and playing very loud music on neighborhood streets at 10pm isn't positive action. It's a mobile party.

And, if I'm honest, I have only seen the 'wish death on cyclists' meme out of the mouths of self-righteous people that don't want to follow traffic laws because they're on a bike and might be inconvenienced by something as banal as stop signs, red lights, and turn lanes than I have out of people in cars, who are upset that cyclists constantly fling themselves in front of 2 ton pieces of steel traveling at 35mph while not wearing helmets. This is likely because the people in cars don't want to hurt the cyclists.

Living in a city with a decent number of cyclists, and having been both a motorist and a cyclist at various times, here is my wisdom about cyclists:

When you are on a bicycle, you must assume that all the cars want to kill you but legally get away with it.
When you are in a car, you must assume that all the cyclists are sneakily trying to involve you in their suicide.

I have actually seen Critical Mass in Melbourne, Australia, and it was exactly as I described. A bunch of cyclists wearing helmets and high-vis, with signs saying "we need more bike lanes" and such. Sorry people do it wrong wherever you're from, sounds rough.

Not at all, I've done big bike rides and they're really fun, though we did it in the country, and followed traffic laws, and it wasn't late at night around people's homes when they were trying to sleep. But I'm convinced that Critical Mass is not a legitimate protest group that pushes for real change, at least in the US.

Oh no, a protest group protested in a way people found inconvenient. When will they learn that protesting quietly in a way that people can easily ignore is the best way to achieve change. And at 10pm on a school night too. I hope, with time and a strong support network around you, you can begin to heal from this trauma.

Having spent my whole life dodging cars and bicyclists I got completely surprised when passing 2 pedestrians while on a bike and one pedestrians shoves the other to the left and she in turn throws out her arm with enough force to knocks me over the guard rail

There's a country road near my home that is inexplicably popular with cyclists. It is
A. Narrow.
B. Very steep
C. The only road leading to a very popular hiking place about 30 miles away.

Like, every time we go along that road, there's a 15 car tailback because a bunch of cyclists are slogging up the that drat hill. I don't get it, I have a bike which I ride, I do not see the attraction of working my way up a nasty hill with a queue of cars behind me, when there are other options easily available.
