Some study may have overcounted, but the problem is real.
I hate passing such unpredictables, because you never know what they'll do.
I see those people on bikes erratically weaving and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to pass them, but it's not from them checking their phones, it's just how they ride; it seems like any direction they look, their bike follows. However, I'm not sure how many of them I can call "cyclist".
Living in a beach town, we get a lot of people on bikes...I know I risk sounding like an elitist.
It really doesn't bother me too much, since I only see these people as I'm coming home (in the last mile of two), I ride on the beach roads as a cool down, I never see them on the major roads I ride when I'm on my ride, so it's not as if they're slowing me down significantly.
