@inlineschool The people on bikes can't do much damage. The cars often kill or badly injure cyclists.

@CycleDub No, but then I'm far less vulnerable and exposed, I'm far easier to see and I'm moving much faster. I'm not condoning road rage or improper use of the road by anyone. I will say though, I often find cyclists to be deeply inconsiderate (why do they ride to the front of the queue at a red light when they can see there is no room for the vehicles now behind them to overtake when the lights change? And why do so many ride straight through red lights?)

[CycleDub]

@SaganNotPagan I'm not defending hitting someone's car, but I'm curious as to why you feel that cyclists should slow down every time someone tries to overtake them. Do you follow your own advice when you are driving? Do you slow down every time someone tries to overtake you?

[SaganNotPagan]

@CycleDub I certainly wouldn't risk my safety or my car just to make a point, and if I struck someone's vehicle I would expect them to react aggressively.

[CycleDub]

@SaganNotPagan Why? Do you slow down every time someone tries to squeeze into your lane?
