People on bikes may be rude and may not follow the rules, but can’t be aggressive.

When a man with a .45 meets a man with a rifle, the man with a pistol will be a dead man.

I think most cyclists are great but there are also jackasses. when I used to have to drive to work in Houston, TX, I was coming home at night. Cyclist with no bike lights wearing all black just blew through a stop sign with a wall that ran all the way to the sidewalk. I slowed down because that intersection has poor visibility and people just yolo’d through it frequently, else i’d’ve hit them. I did notice one thing as they shot out: white earbuds in so also not listening to what’s going on around then.
