Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

It’s not intended to be inflammatory. It’s the reality that many people operating vehicles are not aware of your (bike) presence and that their careless actions could easily result in your death or serious injuries. Often times people fail to follow traffic rules and create situations that pose little danger to them but a lot of danger to pedestrians and bike riders.

I believe you about your intent but we have to moderate these things by effect—or rather by likely effect, based on past experience—and I can tell you from past experience that a comment like "car users are always trying to kill you" is guaranteed to land as inflammatory with a lot of readers. Keep in mind that when you post here, you're broadcasting to thousands of people. Even if most read your intent correctly, that still leaves a lot of people who won't. Therefore the burden is on you to disambiguate your intent. Past explanations in case helpful: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

This is both a safe assumption and a scary reality. I have had cars deliberately place themselves in a situation where I had to take evasive action on my motorcycle. Think about using a 6000lb object to physically intimidate a 400lb object for the perceived slight of being safely passed. This is on top of all the inattentive drivers.
