People on bikes may be rude and may not follow the rules, but can't be aggressive.
When a man with a .45 meets a man with a rifle, the man with a pistol will be a dead man.

I won't be very sure about that. A pistol has better ADS afterall :P
Funnily, the exact opposite tends to happen to me a lot of times. With the cars just slowly closing in on me from the side.
I am normally a pedestrian and I fucking hate bikes as they are silent, fast and either used by 45+ old men that never got to do Tour de France or people with barley enough control to chew gum ans breath at the same time.
The cartardocide is coming. I used to cycle with a hammer for extra safety.
Let's be honest here. It's all some sort of freudian compensation scheme. It's not really size, but sexual performances are deeply linked with physical activity, core strength and pelvic musculation. A car-driver and his unhealthy habit of lying around like a fatass in his pollution machine waiting for the traffic to clear will suffer from premature ejaculation issue. That is why they hate cyclists, they know the only consolation they will have, when their wife leave them for somebody leaner, is that their aneurysm is right around the corner anyway.
