Good on you for having words with people like that, they might think twice about it next time or sadly they may go on a vendetta.
We could totally erase this whole car vs bike thing if the stupid Australian media would stop publishing junk articles and stories from failed journo's. Add to that, any company that supports a shit news outlet that produces such shit by advertising their business is obviously a bunch of halfwit's as well.

Its Australia, the US and the UK that have problems. Most of the rest of the world gets on just fine with bikes.
Three countries with a strong Murdoch influence...

I watched an interesting situation emerge. On my way to the city there were two bikes riding along, hugging the left. Golf in front of me slowed down and passed very close. The rider reached out and tapped the window as the golf snuck past. The golf then violently went into the on coming lane between cars. Two wrongs dont make a right but seriously if tge golf had maintained speed it could have swung out and around without any danger at all. Some people are just fucktards and in this case two of them in the same time space.

BAHAHAHAHAHA
Are you saying Rupert Murdoch influenced this person to hassle a cyclist?
If you honestly think his newspapers are that capable, I am subscribing NOW. I need to be reading stuff that is so influential.

Facepalm... No, I mean Murdoch papers include all bogan whistling shitstains like the daily telegraph/the sun/Fox News that feed off and feed intolerant ignorant fuckwits.
Pretty sure that was obvious.

Facepalm... No, I am taking the piss out of your stupid little inference.

The 1m minimum passing distance is pretty poorly understood by your average driver in the inner city. My suspicion is that drivers infer from the fact that bike riders are allowed to filter through stopped/slow traffic (passing much closer than 1m) means they are allowed to pass close as speeds rise. I unfortunately see a lot of dumb filtering behaviour by bike riders heading into and out of the city each day.

Its not stupid... Those rags routinely stoke the hate, and the bogans are too dumb to do anything other than parrot it. Of course they're responsible.

Maybe not entirely responsible, but the Murdoch media does tend to present a fair degree of misinformation seemingly designed to polarise people. Surely we would all laugh if someone tried to tell us that they had seen something factual on A Current Affair? There isn't much of a difference to the noise papers like the Daily Telegraph pumps out.

I mean, all other things aside, the Murdoch press is really influential, and long-term positions taken by the editors matter. I am sure that Bill Shorten doesn't like to read his coverage in the daily Telegraph each day, but he surely still reads it. And the editorial position that the Murdoch press has taken on bikes in the city is pretty clear and clearly intended to be read as a campaign intended to stir up ill-feeling (which they have admitted), which does have real world consequences.
A good example of how mislead they are willing to be - https://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/episodes/bike-bashing-at-the-daily-telegraph/9980702
When the otherwise ineffectual Press Council calls you out for publishing fact-free garbage, you really are prioritising feels over reals.
