Default Cyclists are not regarded as completely human

Researchers at Queensland University of Technology and Monash University
recently found drivers admitted they were deliberately aggressive to
cyclists because they 'didn't rate them as completely human'.
QUT professor Narelle Haworth said the study, which questioned 442
people in Victoria, NSW and Queensland, found 55 per cent of
non-cyclists rated cyclists as 'not completely human'.

Most of them are well below average intelligence and are of ape like
appearance.
Thus, not completely human.

Reminds me of the time I was cycling with a friend in Milton Keynes and came across a couple trying to bump start their 'viable transport' car uphill. I pointed out that putting it into reverse and letting it roll downhill backwards would do the same job. The 'intelligent' driver could not understand this so I had to do it for him.

Reminds me of the 33 year old ape cyclist next door who has only just moved
away from his parents house with his newish wife. She is a dog, best a
cyclist can get.
He has been sacked from every job for being plain stupid - cyclists are
mostly stupid.
Two years ago he was cycling to work when his viable means of transport
broke down. Down came the rain and the idiot arrived at work two hours late,
soaked and with filthy hands. He was sacked on the spot. I have breakdown
cover in my viable means of transport - it's called a car.

So you have moved from your bedsit to a circus. What act do you perform?
