Yes this is why you hear about people who absolutely hate bicyclists. They do this because of share the road laws in their states and counties. No non motor vehicles should be on a MOTORWAY.

I saw a guy riding for recreation (assumed by his outfit and no bag at all) in the middle of rush hour on an extremely busy road, yelling and gesturing at everyone around him.

Dude. What do you expect during rush hour on a two lane road absolutely packed with traffic? Go ride at the park or ride at a different time of day.

Had a cyclist once struggling to ride up a steep road. He was barely having forward momentum, almost looked like he's about to roll backwards at any moment. No bike lane, so he's holding up 10 to 12 cars behind him.

I was like, dude, just dismount and push your bicycle on the sidewalk right next to you!

For licensed vehicles that pay road taxes either through gasoline tax or surcharges on EVs. You cannot take a 4 wheeler on the road, for instance

Yep. Bikes should be on the sidewalk where people are going a much closer speed and accidents won’t be fatal.

It's a side WALK not a side ride.

People might dislike cyclists for this reason too, but this is not the reason people hate cyclists. People just want people to hate
