Cyclists can absolutely cause car accidents and get people killed. A cyclist on the road (in the US) is a vehicle and is expected to act like one, which means following all traffic control devices and signs.

Sure. But I’m a busy guy and I’m trying to stick to a proportional amount of rage for each mode, based on how much damage they inflict on others. How many of the 30k roadway deaths per year (in the US) do you think we can attribute to scofflaw bicyclists putting others at risk?
