To take Rick's point a bit further:

I was in my car taking a right turn through a green light.
Suddenly, a 'cyclist'--no, bicycle rider, nearly gets hit by
my fender (now I can see why many motorists hate cyclists).
This person on the bicycle was (1) on the wrong side of 
the road, (2) going through a red light, (3) had walkmans
on, and (4) was carrying a six-pack with one hand and
attempting to steer with the other.  It's too bad that
people like this are responsible for many motorists anger
toward us.  I think that the only solution will come when
a motorist can differentiate between a cyclist, and a
bicycle rider.
