Yes, there are thousands who 'cross the divide' and both cycle and drive. But are you attempting to suggest that there isn't a huge amount of cyclists who shun private cars, calling them cagers etc, and who hate the drivers? This group would seem to suggest otherwise. And are you similarly suggesting that there aren't thousands of car drivers who think cyclists are a PITA and should be legislated out of their way? Again, this group would seem to suggest otherwise. So, there goes the subtance behind your "utter bollocks" theory.
