I guess it depends on how often and where you’re going. If you have places to be each and every day and want to get there effectively, people ignoring general rules and courtesies of the road are a pain. If you’re one of the types listening to podcasts with a latte in one hand and a phone in the other just trudging along, it’s probably fine.
I road cycled for years, I always followed the street rules.  Always.  Red light means red light. 
I have so many cycling friends who get into accidents and other conflicts with drivers, and yet they think it’s stupid to stop at a red light.  They just don’t connect these two things >

Most bikers I encounter are complete idiots. Like I'd be driving normally and out of nowhere comes a biker on a crosswalk in full speed. Now, I appreciate bikers who actually stop and make eye contact with me as I'm driving towards the crosswalk but man, it's either that or the biker almost dies because I have no time to brake.
And what's up with all the bikers going like 5 kmh IN THE MIDDLE of a road when there's a dedicated sidewalk for bikers right next to them? Drives me insane. >

It seems like most bikers because of observation bias.
If you follow the rules as you should, you’re unmemorable.
As for the sidewalks - its actually less safe on the sidewalk. >

Interesting. Dangerous situations are more valuable to remember, and I remember tons of irresponsible bikers. It is in fact observation bias. But I'm always happy to see those who pay close attention to traffic, and I do remeber some of them aswell. >

Well the same goes for driving.  How many cars do you remember when they haven’t done anything? But you tend to remember the ones who do something dumb >

Yeah it can be applied to anything really. >

As a cyclist in one of the most bike-dense cities in the world, I hate cyclists too. If I could avoid getting myself hurt, I’d be ramming at least ten of them a day just to teach a lesson about ignoring rules and common sense. >

Amsterdam? Copenhagen? >

Copenhagen. It’s a wonderful bike city but the people are incredibly self-centered. >

I had high expectations from cyclists when I first visited the city, after all it is heralded as a cycling paradise and, well, let’s say it looked a lot more like the rest of the world and mainly because of the personal behavior of cyclists.
My local friend justified it, stating that it’s because danish are more temperamental than all other Scandinavians: an explanation that I really didn’t know what to do with… >

If “temperamental” means “a bunch of egotistical [insert unflattering body part]”, he’s right. >

You make it sound like a war zone. I live in Copenhagen and most of the time biking around the city is very pleasant. Except for the food delivery scooters, they can 🤬 off.
