Not trying to be mean, but I think you already had an inkling of the answer to the question, OP.
In other countries they squish cyclist, pedestrian or anything that violates right of way; often rightly so, and thus they keep to their lanes.
I remember there were some Americans in Poland who got hit only a few minutes on the street because they assume vehicles would stop for them as one example.
Honestly that's just ignorant. Most of our states are bigger than entire countries in Europe.
Ever gone downhill in a heavy or super-heavy vehicle that's basically a giant explosive and a bunch of cyclists are on a highway or freeway not designed or meant for cyclists? That's basically one of the issues. Now imagine that, but it includes dangerous curves and very limited lanes, often 1 lane, again not meant for cyclists to EVER be on.
It's a highway, meant for high speed traffic, not cycling tourism. That is one of many reasons.
That's also why. How you act & react, can make people hate them more.
Vehicles have the right of way on roads made for vehicles. Anything that cannot go the speed limit have less right to be there and are a danger to traffic especially if people have to go into opposing traffic lanes to pass them.
Bike lanes and bike trails are for bikes, not the road. Cyclists often forget the road is often used by heavy/commercial/industrial equipment that cannot stop on a dime and stopping with a certain level of force or greater can result in loss of cargo, damage, road closures, hazmat spills & cleanup, injury or death of drivers for having to brake or make maneuvers to avoid danger, especially caused by cyclists. That, is a large reason for the anti-cyclist attitude. They're often completely in the roadway blocking high speed traffic.
I often carry fuel and chemicals, if someone doesn't want those on them or to be on fire from a spill, they should be completely off the road especially if not able to go the speed limit. If there's no bike lane, don't ride on it especially if it's a higher speed road. Simple concept many cyclists seem to ignore.
The stereotype of cyclists based off of their actions as a whole are why they are hated.
Things in the states are often over distance if you're not in a tightly packed city. It has nothing to do with ego, it has everything to do with "if you can't go 55 in a 55. 65 in a 65, 70 in a 70 or 75 in a 75 then stay out of the road". Cyclists in the states are some of the most dangerous people on the road as they tend to cause an immense amount of danger for vehicles, especially larger vehicles.
This was also my response to OP's complaining about peds on bike trails. Just because we can't afford a bike doesn't mean we don't need to use I rather then a road with crosswalks and traffic to get where we are going, as long as we aren't legally forbidden from doing so.
did cars take over the horse paths?
are all transport equally allowed use even carriages and goat carts regardless of speed?
if roads are only for cars must the government provide secondary slow speed vehicle options at all locations?
Neither is a good thing...
*I know this will get me flack from both cyclists and drivers, but until we get bike lanes everywhere, I think modes of transportation should only go into the lane where they would be more vulnerable. If a cyclist goes onto the sidewalk then a collision would likely result in more serious injuries for the pedestrian, likewise if it gets into a collision in the road the cyclist is likely to get the worse injury. If they have to choose between the two then the cyclist should go in the lane that presents danger to themselves rather than to peds, and nothing is stopping a cyclist from walking a bike on the sidewalk either.
Are they in the way of anyone?
-No; then no problem, why make it one?
-Yes; they rightfully incur the wraith of pedestrian and/or motorist that they bother by taking up a lane wrong, ignore road rules, go too slow, go too fast, dismounting at the wrong times or being a nuisance.
If they want the same respect as a proper vehicle they should be licensed and insured; otherwise its all at their own risk and they shouldn't complain when things go wrong often at their instigation.
"In the United Kingdom, the Locomotive Acts was a policy requiring self-propelled vehicles to be led by a pedestrian waving a red flag or carrying a lantern to warn bystanders of the vehicle's approach."
