This is best exemplified by carbrains claiming if you get stuck behind a slower vehicle such as a bicycle it's only natural that you turn into a bloodlusting psychopath but like this happens to me daily because grandma earnest and me share the same not-even-one-bicycle-wide bikepath. Since I neither intend to hit a pedestrian or bunnyhop a sick trials line across some cars I just ride slower for a bit.

The thing about how bicyclists throw themselves infront of cars? Guess what: An alarming amount of people play crossing traffic by ear and since I don't make "vroom vroom" noises while riding they literally just straight up walk infront of me, on the road. Half the time they don't even notice me emergency braking and going behind them.

The carbrained also don't want to acknowledge their little 'whoopsies' could put cyclists in the hospital or the morgue.

I had a guy run into me from a complete stop in front of a pedestrian crossing. You can't even trust a car stopped in front of where they're supposed to give way to you because you don't know if they're actually looking out from their own little bubbles
