    Interesting link

    The article it's self isn't worth anything but some of the comments are pretty interesting. Just shows the divide between cagers and bikers.

    I wonder why cagers get so violently angst ridden over bikes "queue jumping" (as they put it). They don't get so excited if a pedestrian walks past them when they're stopped at lights. Surely the same thing? Or even a bicycle.

    I think it's pure jealousy. They don't like being alerted to the fact that there is an alternative to being stuck in traffic - one they would never consider because they're just too scared of it.
