Push bikes clogging up the roads

Chap kangaroos out in front of me from junction in ancient suzuki swift, looking straight at me.
Me: Wooah! Watch it!
Him (now at the lights): What's your problem?
Me: You pulled out rigth in front of me.
Him: It's push bikes that cause all these problems on a morning. Why don't you get a car?
Me: I have two cars thanks.

Brilliant logic I thought. He even continued on the theme of bikes slowing the traffic down, despite it being completely counter-intuitive.

It made me laugh, and I warmed to the guy (pity I guess).

    When you do up the fasteners on your duvet cover only to get to the end before realising you missed one at the beginning, forcing you to undo them all and start again...

    and they don't pay road tax, or insurance, they jump red lights, they ride on pavements, they don't look where they're going.

    And think of all the CO2 they're breathing out. CO2 is baaaad!

    Is this thread designed to confuse any anti-cycling types who happen to find it on a "cyclists are b@stards" google search?

    No. No. No. NO,.

    CO2 is not bad... they all say CARBON is bad.

    Well, it must be: it's all black and smelly and dirty...A. Bit. Like. All. These. Cyclists.

    Yeah! Trees and grass! They take up so much space and they don't even PAY for it! Put registration plates on 'em and MAKE EM PAY!
