Can't we all just get along... I came from Minneapolis and I familiar with the bike lanes mentioned. What wasn't mentioned is that those lanes came at the expense of a lane of traffic or someone's parking, which is especially difficult when they tend to lose that in the winter anyway. The larger related issue is paying for the bike lanes, like electric vehicles they don't buy gas so they don't contribute to some of the funding of the roads or surfaces they use.
The real issue is we all just need to get along, which most of us do. When passing bikers and walkers with my Golf Car, I go out of my way to give them room, more so for people walking their dogs. Yes, you will always run into jerks, but as I tell my wife, wait and get around them and you'll likely never see them again. Forget about it and go about your business....
