I would bet you an arbitrary sum of money that 51% of cyclists are not rude and don't act like they own the road. (Same for drivers.)

Given the sheer amount of cyclist who think that cars should be banned with no consideration for anything else, I think that this is a common observation.

Where I live, the pro-cyclist mayor (whose husband owns a bike rental shop, by pure coincidence) closed a road for cars without consultation, now the firemen along with residents are protesting because emergency and delivery vehicles can't access a large part of the city (car parked can't get out!). This is the average behavior you can expect from militant cyclists, from my experience.

Which town is this? I find it hard to believe that the mayor did not add an exception for emergency and commercial vehicles.

		Riga. Of course, all of the cyclist absolutely LOVE it, and now want to remove cobblestones, which could lead to a removal of the city from the UNESCO World Heritage list. But they don't care.

The pro cyclist mayor in the city I live in didn’t do that. I guess our personal anecdotes cancel out.
