I am a road cyclist....

And I think the problem is that everyone today is in such a hurry, there is no patience. I've lost count the times some t**t has overtaken me and then immediately turned left even though I'm doing around 25mph myself. Most cars are ok, it's just the few which leave you with a bad experience during your ride out. Also a lot of drivers come out with the utterly ridiculous you pay no road tax s**t despite the fact that I also have a car and do pay f**king road tax so to that lot, go f**k yourself twice. By the way I stand up for the responsible cyclists, not the f**king pricks who ride around at night in dark clothes, no lights and no protective headgear.
