I've cycled to work and back 59 times this year, and reported 36 drivers (with video evidence from my bike) to the police, with them taking "positive action" in 34 of those cases. But yeah, it's the cyclists who are dangerous.

Yeah I think the main problem isn't the cyclists themselves, it's that cyclists don't have a safe place ride without getting ran over. Cyclists shouldn't be a problem to drivers in the first place if they had their own lane or space. I'm lucky to live somewhere that has bike lanes and sidewalks on most streets. America strangely lacks basic infrastructure in a vast majority of their country. It really sucks ass if you have a fear of driving :(

When they have their own lane and space cars still just use it. They park on the bike lanes, move into them if somebody's passing on their left, or try and pass cars on their right if they find space during slow traffic.

Absolutely needed but people in cars will still cause issues and when they cause issues, it's a multi ton vehical hitting some aluminium and flesh.
