Oh look, the "cager" word again. Why do you complain about motorists supposedly displaying a "GET OUT OF MY WAY" attitude, when you then say the exact same thing as a cyclist? The number of times that you complain about drivers saying particular things, only to say those same things as a cyclist, shows yet again that you don't really have a problem with what the drivers are saying, you just have a problem with them being drivers full stop.

Anyway, if I'm in slow-moving traffic and a cyclist is coming up the nearside, I always make space for them. Although the possibility of them being a car-hating wanker like you makes me wonder whether I should sometimes.
