Bicyclists aren't under attack from all directions. Frankly, no one

cares enough to care, let alone attack them. But they are getting a
bad reputation from your posts.


He also seems to do everything he can to be killed by a car just because he
thinks he can mix with car traffic and "own the road no matter how much
slower he is or how much he tries to cause a car accident to prove his
point. He is obviously the attacker, not the other people.

His comments on being attacked are pure fantasy in his mind, not reality.
You are correct, nobody cares enough to care. They are probably trying to
not hit him as he does things that could put them in an accident hitting
another car.

I know I sometimes have to drive in a way that increases my danger in order
to avoid hitting bike riders on narrow mountain roads in the Bay Area.
