"Around 30% of respondents also perceived cyclists to be less than fully human."

What the fuck is wrong with people

As someone who drives almost every day I can confirm that I perceive motorists to be less than fully human just based on their behaviour.

You must live somewhere with good cycling culture. Here in central Iowa, we have a yearly event where a bunch of cyclists ride across the state. Instead of using the very available and maintained trails, they really like to try to cross the highways without looking and get drunk at the bars so they can stumble in the middle of the roads some more.
