I remember walking across a four-lane major road with the last moments of the pedestrian walk signal allowing me the right. A cyclist was turning into the four-lane road, all lanes of which were empty and available for him to choose from, with only light traffic waiting for the lights to resume. Despite this bevy of selection, his chosen course of action was to buzz the single pedestrian crossing and abuse him for being in the way.

Aggressive cyclists are a problem. Assertive cyclists are not, and there is a clear and important distinction between the two.
