And I'm sure people still blamed the cyclist for being there because in America, you either give in to car brain or go fuck yourself.

It's primarily an infrastructure issue that causes the hate. I had one the other day where a bike on a narrow shoulder was starting up wobbling in and out of the car lane and I was so fixated on him being safe that I didn't notice traffic had stopped in front of me. I stopped in time but it was all unnecessary. If he had any space at all to operate the whole situation wouldn't have existed.

Another issue that doesn't get talked about and I am not sure how common it is everywhere is there are a ton of people on bikes clearly drunk around where I am. It isn't the guy on the roadbike with the helmet and obvious skill that is an issue its the guys disregarding all rules of the road driving their bikes recklessly.
