I (M,65) took the law into my own hands recently. a childish young man stopped at the red light then re-started while the light was still red & before I had finished crossing the road. Big mistake. I propelled him backwards over the stop line.
Stateside I call these types "Cluster B(ike) activists." They've since taken over the sensible, principled bicyclists such as the ones that were trained by the likes of John Forester's Effective Cycling Program (in the US) of over in the UK John Franklin's work.
I used to cycle in Central London. And ride a motorcycle. The traffic restrictions have made the latter pointless-I live centrally. Anyway in my non scientific comparison. Motorcyclists always always always say hello when you are parking up. I’m not on a big lad bike-just a dad scooter. Cyclists are just awful. Never smile. Always pinched faced and grim. Treating every traffic light as a competition. With a few exceptions-no doubt you Charlotte-cyclist are all round unpleasant.
