As a handy reference piece, here are the top 10 reasons drivers get angry at bike riders.

1. “I sometimes see them roll through stop signs when the coast is clear.”

2. “One rider was in front of me and I had to change lanes to get around her.”

3. “They wear Lycra, like they think they are in the Tour de France.”

4. “This guy actually got mad at me for parking in the bike lane!”

5. “When I am stuck in traffic, they just filter through open spaces like the rules don’t apply to them.”

6. “They don’t have to pay license and registration fees.”

7. “Sometimes they ride in the middle of the lane instead of hugging the right edge.”

8. “I had to depress the brake pedal and wait 30 seconds to pass this one guy safely.”

9. “Something something road tax.”

10. “Why don’t they just pull over to the side when they realize they’re slowing me down?”
