Motorists hate pedestrians.
Pedestrians hate motorists.
But everyone hates bicyclists.

Too many bicyclists don’t realize the bike paths are shared use lanes, and if someone is ahead of you using that lane, you either wait or go safely around them WITHOUT making a snide, entitled objection.

For example, a driver (me) keeping his door open for an extended period to safely take his disabled child out the traffic side doors (sidewalk side were blocked) is a first-come first-served shared use. But of course I had to hear some moron who sped passed me sarcastically say “nice door” (he was a safe distance from me when I opened it),

This reminds me of when smoking was legal on train platforms - until too many smokers deeply inhaled just before boarding and then exhaled on the train.

Privileges abused become privileges lost. The same fate may await bicyclists if they are not more mindful of others.
