Sort of buried the lede in this one. Seems like the obvious answer is running of red lights, passing between cars or in gaps that feel dangerous to nearby drivers, going slowly such that those behind the rider are forced to drive way below speed limits, etc.
Before I get pounced on, not saying those reasons justify the level of vitriol or the actions of unhinged drivers or pedestrians.
Asking why the level of outrage towards cyclists is so disproportionate to the offenses committed by some cyclists is a good question, asking 'why would anyone ever be mad at bicyclists?' is not.
