Oil industry profits and exceptionalism.

The same reason they fight against vegetarians, the same reason they fight against gay men, the same reason they fight against renewable energy, all of it is toxic masculinity. The standardized male eats steaks, drives a loud truck, works at the coal plant, complains about his wife, enjoys smoking and drinking and watching sports. If you deviate from this whatsoever, conservatives are against you.

Because if they're riding bikes they might not be buying $70k cars. How are the poor car companies going to afford to survive now? Someone think of the shareholders.

conservatives don't get mad at anything they don't personally do or don't make things up about other people to get mad at challenges (impossible)

Fearing change.

because they're antisocial, hetero normative, fascist wannabe, assholes that despise wholesome solutions to the world's problems. there's only one way to deal with these sociopaths.

I'm not at war with them... The cyclists here are at war with cross walk signals!

Two times in the last couple of years I've tried to turn right on red coming home at night, watching traffic on the left, turn back to the right and a cyclist is literally in front of my car as I'm about to apply the gas to turn! They would be laying across my hood without a fast reaction time.

Number one, I don't believe they are supposed to be riding on sidewalks, and number two they completely disregard traffic signals/walk signals.

Granted this is in the U.S., specifically in Florida, and I don't blame them for not wanting to be on the normal roads here as they will literally be run over by a jackass in a lifted F350; but I do wish they would at least abide by the pedestrian crossing signs as I really would prefer not to hit anyone!

Our state is so backwards the concept of public transit is an afterthought and very few places are remotely walkable... We have some bike trails here and there, but everything is designed for cars because living near a population center is too expensive for most and requires you to commute by car.

Because the right are a bunch of fucking screaming babies that need their goddamn asses beaten to a fucking pulp.

LIBERALS: STOP BEING NICE TO THESE FUCKING SHITS. NO, THEY DO NOT HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN YOU.

I do not think they are anti-cyclists. Anyone have objective proof on this claim, thanks.

Edit: For the record. I think bikers are more anti-car or anti-car infrastructure or worry about safety. Which is a valid criticism. A biker vs a 3,000lbs piece of metal is obvious. Drivers do not care about bikers outside liability or annoyance.

I think that Americans corralate freedom of movement with cars so they do not want to give that. It is about nuance. But I have never read anti-bike rethoric anywhere from reasonable people, left or right.

Only over emotional or extremist people seem to be quoted as unfairly being the voice of everyone else. And I say that as someone who bikes 50km, for fun and who also likes to drive.

Because oil companies and their useful idiots have propagandised them into believing that every cyclist that inconveniences their morning commute and causes them to lose 20 seconds of their drive deserves to die.
