> Many cyclists have an attitude of entitledness

I hate out-groups too. Nothing can compare to the entitledness of car drivers. I've been yelled at, swerved at, had trash thrown at me while walking or cycling, often with children. Many drivers seems to consider the slightest inconvenience as a personal attack worthy of violent response with a deadly machine.

I know this. Glass bottle thrown at my head for riding in the bike lane in Iowa. Apparently, I did something upsetting. Pick-up trucks are a strong signal for this type of behavior. No one in a sub-compact has ever tried to kill me. Not sure why that is my experience, could just be coincidence.
