As a pedestrian in NYC I wasn't fond of them either. At least once a month I'd have a near miss due to a cyclist barrelling through a red light at full speed. I know it's a only a minority that does things like that, but it unavoidably creates a bad impression.

I guess traffic will always elicit emotional reactions in people. I bike through a tourist-laden, relatively narrow, street on my way to and from work and, my god, the amount of people just wandering around aimlessly seemingly having no sense of their surroundings is astonishing.
