But what about those of us who cycle and drive? When we cycle are we more tolerant of motorists and vice versa? Does getting behind the wheel give rise to a loathing, if only temporary, of those clad in lycra or the humble bicycle-clip wearing commuter?
We share the same planet and the same roads. Be nice.
From what I've seen of motorists at large. Given the chance, the bad-attitude types are just as likely to 'vent' at other motorists as they are at cyclists, or anyone else who they perceive as offending them....Massive static revving, the super-long hornblast, yelling unprintable obscenities, getting out and acting threateningly, etc. Unfortunately, I guess some folk are just born w**k**s.

These are the same cyclists who raise the hackles of motorists, clearly have the same disdain for pleasure cyclists.
What they are like behind a wheel I shudder to think.
Two wheeled purists!
Shiny bike and clothes no manners or insight to the point of cycling for pleasure.
They would not dream of using using pavement as a layby to let a juggernaut pass on our old mill town roads.
Even less at pulling in behind double parked traffic up a steep hill
to let wide vehicles ahead.
Quite happy to let a lorry chug and belch behind their tortuous slog
up it.
