I have been a serious road rider since the mid 70s. I think of myself as considerate driver of my car and also my bicycle. I have over the years have been harassed many many times while riding my bike. I live in deep east Texas. There is a lot of backwards thinking that I as a cyclist do not belong on the same road or as a matter of fact even on the shoulder of the road. But I also see many cyclist behaving in ways that I thought would bring shame to me if I acted like they were. I was in my car riding around whiterock lake in Dallas. There is bike and hiking paved lanes. There were 10 or so cyclist riding on the main road riding really slow taking up the road and holding up traffic. They were going less than 10 mph. Was like that for more than 20 minutes. They were not considerate to others at all. Left a bad taste in my mouth and I am a cyclist.
