rant over. just wanted to put my point across.

Agreed!!!
This has nothing to do with cycling really. An idiot is an idiot is an idiot, whether he's in a car, on a bike, walking... and why do they at all exist? Here's the answer:

I mountainbike to/from work every day, and try to totally avoid traffic. And am so lucky that I can cycle 95% in the woods with no cars at all, one of the world's best commutes!!! Getting VERY close to a birdstrike that's all
I'm not trying to save the planet, I just try to keep fit. It's the best way to start and end the day. And I hate to sit on the sub like a fish in a barrell
