Of any kind. Commuting, road biking, touring, mountain biking etc.
Been a cyclist of various types for 20 years now. Never seems to be non-controversial. Even among other cyclists… many hate other types of cyclists. And now there is a lot of specific e-bike hate/controversy.
I don’t get it man. What do you think?
IME assholes are assholes regardless of being on a bike or not.
Not taking away any of your points, as they’re mostly valid. That’s almost entirely an infrastructure problem.
Heavy pro-oil, anti-bike propaganda has got people all uppity about improving bike-related infrastructure, even when there are few or no consequences for drivers.
Oh yeah, it’s absolutely primarily an infrastructure issue. Some proper bike lanes would go a very long way.
There’s a good smattering of the usual things- some people are dumb, some parents suck at parenting, etc. also at play, but that’s not particularly unique to bikes.
