Ah yes. Someone dares to tell it like it is and *not* exaggerate the danger cars pose to cyclists, so you take your revenge on him by telling him that he doesn't cycle "properly".

That's right. Anything that cyclists do to minimise how much they get in the driver's way is "jeopardising their own safety". Convenient. Not surprising that you would say that: dishonest car-haters seem to use "more dangerous" automatically to describe *anything* which makes things easier for motorists (and the same with "safer"/harder for motorists).
