Who doesn’t like bicycles? I mean, cyclists are often very reckless, dangerous people on the road, and bike lanes are sometimes more of a safety hazard.
Bikers get a lot of hate because a lot of them act like pedestrians. (i.e. riding on sidewalks, crosswalks, not stopping at stop signs, not signalling turns or shoulder-checking)
But then if you do all of that dumb law-abiding stuff like some kind of responsible citizen, people in cars honk at you, give you their right of way, or worse!
cyclists would not need to do those things if there was proper infrastructure and if car drivers weren’t out to kill them.
making bikes come to a complete stop is less safe because of the acceleration curve of a bike, if the way is clear it’s safer the cyclist and anyone else around for the cyclist to maintain speed

you should try interacting with cars as a pedestrian or cyclist. There are people driving on the roads now that I wouldn’t trust to safely ride in a pram let alone use of heavy machinery at high speed in a public area based on a test they did years ago. If car use was held to the same standard as safely using heavy machinery in an industrial environment a lot of people who drive now wouldn’t be let near a car. It’s like people think they have a god given right to operate heavy machinery despite having no ability (or inclination) to do so safely and doing it around children
also bikes don’t actually have turn signals and when you use your arm to signal it means you have less control of the bike while you do it

found the truck driver who tries to kill every cyclist they see

I ride on the sidewalk when I can because I do not want to be run over by some
in a truck with a 12" lift who’s infuriated by having to see a bicycle
“Who doesn’t like bicycles”
Damn those entitled cyclists acting like they’re entitled to use the road without getting run over.
