Well, if we're going to randomly bold things, please let me point out that you were the one who equated drivers with cyclists, "You can't imagine that motorists, like cyclists, don't always have the luxury of alternative routes or alternate times to travel such a route?" therefore making the differences in responsibilities between the two different types of operators relevant.

That "equivalency" is your construct.
