I've been all but shoved aside by cyclists on sidewalks. Don't try that crap with me.

If that was a car you'd have been dead. 20 people in the US died today because of that.

"Be glad you weren't killed, you ungrateful swine" isn't the tone cyclists should be taking in a thread about dignity.

I perceive your tone as purely hostile and frankly pretty ignorant, so maybe don’t talk about tone.

Aside from that, hating a form of mobility is weird. People that are assholes in cars will be assholes on bikes and vice versa.

Cars kill children not just on sidewalks, but inside buildings.

The problem here is not the cyclist -- though that's for sure a dick move -- but the lack of proper space for cyclists to exist. There'll be seventy-two lanes for cars, and maybe one cycle lane which'll end up occupied by parked cars anyways.
