Not really, no. I do think the cyclists have the worst sense of entitlement though. I’m down for a better infrastructure to accommodate cycling, but as is, more often than not I see them not obeying the laws of the road, or riding on sidewalks, or slow riding in the middle of the road instead of getting over to the side to give room to pass. Often when I’m running down the nature trail, I will encounter incoming cyclists two wide hogging the trail, and think I’m going to give up my half. I hug the middle line so one of those ungrateful twats has to get over. Also the assholes that don’t alert when they pass. Going down the trail and Johnny Bikeman blows by with no warning, which is extremely inconsiderate, dangerous, and scary. Often the ride with loud music, and that pisses me off to. Put on headphones, nobody wants to hear your trash, Doppler effect music.
Obviously that’s not all cyclists and this is a generalization, (like vegans and CrossFit) but it’s been a notable part of my experiences with them. I have a bike that I use to exercise and train with, and when I go out and ride I make sure to follow the rules and minimize my interference with others. It’s pretty simple.
