I don't drive so I have to take the bus and walk everywhere. On a regular basis I am almost run over by bicyclists who don't know the rules of the road. They ride on the sidewalk against traffic even though there is bike lane and they are supposed to ride on the right side of the road. The also cross the street between intersections. I'm sick and tired of hearing "excuse me" muttered right in my ear and being scared to death as they zip right by me!

Not a car driver here, I'm an eternal pedestrian, but I often get annoyed at bicyclists myself, like CelticRose. It's really annoying when cyclists choose to take the sidewalk, or don't stop for the zebra even though they should. I wanted to crossed a zebra one time, and a cyclist nearly ran me over, and on top of that she also gave me this look like I did something wrong.
Of course, there was also this little incident I had just last week when I punched a cyclist who pushed me aside because I was walking on the cyclist part of a bridge (my mind was wandering off). I lost it, chased him and punched him in the arm. It didn't come to blows. I can usually control myself, but that time, I was just feeling a little down/angry.

Only the smug bastard cyclists who think they're better because they aren't "contributing" to this so-called "global warming".
I don't care what those greasy, thin, vegan bastards think!
Of course, mountain bikes are a bit different...

The ones that ride in the car lane, when theres a bicycle lane
next to the road, are close to becomming roadkill when i drive up
behind them. Sorry, but its just idiotic, get the hell out of the road.
In a fight between a car and a bike, the car wins every time. I`m
a very nice guy now, as a kid i tried to take them out with my car
door as i passed, they got my blood boiling so bad

I keep a yeti in my backyard.
Now, wait... that's not a dinosaur... it's not even a yeti... I think it's just a homeless guy.

I know I will create an army of drop bears that will atack anyone who is so not lazy enough that they feel that theyare good enough to ride.

Or secretly insert artificial intelligence in every bicycle, which will buck off the cyclist the moment they break the rules of the road.

I ride a bike, but I do my best to follow the rules of the road. Have had run ins with bicyclists who seem to think that rules don't apply to them. Like when one decided that the designated bike lane wasn't good enough, & so he rode in the land designated for cars. When I honked at him, he got mad at me!  Wtf???? Or when there are no bike lanes & there's no where for the driver to go other than to wait for an opening to go around (curvy roads with blind corners). Just rude!

Same here. How annoying! It's pointless for them to say it since they are moveing faster than people on foot. I have walked at parks and some annoying biker sometimes says "to your right" or "to your left", and I go in that way instictively only to find myself running into him. It's irratating. I want to relax at the park, not deal with people.

I'm glad you brought this up! I was riding my bike on a bike path at the beach a few weeks ago. There were people walking 4 & 5 abreast, & it left no where for the bicyclists to go or anyone else. I have a bell that I use in that case. It's just as bad form for people to hog pathways no matter what form of transportation they use. On the beach paths, there are people on foot (some walking their dogs on those extended leashes & not paying attention), roller blades, bikes, skateboards, etc. It's very intimidating & overwhelming. One guy was yelling on top of his lungs while riding his bike through the crowds. Not fun! I think I'll wait until tourist season ends before heading back to the beach.
