For every cycling 'lycra lout' there are many hundreds of inconsiderate and impatient car drivers, who won't give cyclists their fair share of the road.
There are a couple of (otherwise apparently sane) friends of mine who behave so poorly around cyclists that I will no longer travel in a car with them as a driver.
Both are female (not AB members) and have never cycled themselves - I wonder if that is often the case with car drivers who have shockingly poor awareness of cyclists, and indeed motor-cyclists?
