Yeah my most alarming illuminating incident of this nature was in SF actually. I had a guy on a bicycle take the center of the lane at a light - and splitting to the front is normal there. So basically I had this clown blocking me from the normal drill of sprint ahead of the cars (not just get there quicker, but far safer).
Sooo, I tooted - not laid on - the horn, and said "hey can you move over a bit?" Well snot nose didn't like that one bit, dismounted, turned around and picked up his bicycle overhead as to throw it at me. I was like "am I going to have to center punch this guy or what?" Fortunately the light turned and cars started going and he eventually did too but for a bit there it was very not awesome.
Yep. SF bicyclists are a special breed...there was a big thing awhile back where one blasted down the hill and killed a pedestrian - I was totally unsurprised. Then there are the massive anti-car road-blocking protests they do. It's basically like Antifa on bikes.
Bicyclists tend to be entitled brats who think they own the road.
But then so are drivers so it goes both ways.
My favorite is when local laws require that you signal audibly and visibly and shit stains do neither, and get offended when the person they nearly ran down didn't know they were coming up behind them.
A group of kids tried to mock me when I told them to signal properly as they almost hit my then 5 month old puppy. They did not like the response that evoked from me when I bitched them out.

That will get someone shot here in East Tennessee. Menacing is considered assault here.

Cop fortunately drove past and they ran off.
