I know you’re only joking and I don’t want to sound all

sanctimonious but please avoid comments like this about cyclists. There’s already enough of an “us” and “them” mindset between cyclists and car drivers leading to a lot of abuse and aggression. Yes I’m a cyclist but like the vast majority I’m also a car driver so I see both sides, but the vulnerability I often feel on a bike is never matched in a car. So I’m sorry if you think I’m being over sensitive and I know you don’t mean it but please don’t say it.
