I hate bicyclists. They need to decide if they are traffic or pedestrians and stick to it. However, they want the best of both worlds. They want to ride in the street, and then if there is a lot of traffic, red lights, stop signs, etc. they jump up on the sidewalk, etc.

I’d love to drive a van threw a whole swath of them if I could be certain I wouldn’t cause serious injury.

Well of course. Heavy traffic and bikes don't mix well. I'm on the sidewalk in a flash if traffic is heavy. This works for me because I live in the city, where we have sidewalks. My pet peeve is suburbs and suburban streets that don't. Some places you can't even take a walk (safely) without getting into your car and driving to a walkable location.
