Universalis, your very own breviary in pixels...

Sometimes I sympathize with the perpetrators of vehicular violence...

 ...when rubber and metal are the only casualties.
There is a particular piggishness among cyclists that seems to be growing, (leaving aside the bullying from crowds of them drivers can experience in places like Chicago.)
It is hard to blame the bus-driver here, (since he seems to have judged his actions pretty well, no damage to the cyclist at all.)
There are bike lanes the entire length of my drive to church where I live, but I am often stuck behind a gaggle of them going about twenty to twentyfive mph in a 45 or 50 zone,  that ignores traffic lights,  refuses to give way, riding three and four abreast, and even  circling back to interact with others in their groups.

Never been tempted to this yet, though.....
