Your error here is to group all cyclists as a homogeneous group. The
cyclists trying to improve safety are not the same as the aggressive
pedestrian intimidating ones.


That's not quite true, is it?
Some who post here boast of their prowess at terrorising pedestrians
on footways.


I suppose that both of our statements here are open to misinterpretation.
I didn't mean that nobody who advocates safe cycling or posts on this
newsgroup ever rides on the pavement.
And I assume you didn't mean that someone on this newsgroup really
boasts of terrorising pedestrians. At least, that's what I hope you
meant, since I've pushed the 'mark all as read' button a few times
recently.


Touché!

I suggest we both re-interpret those posts in the light of the above.
