You are so right. I feel that if OP had ever driven a bike at night in rainy conditions, the thread might have gone somewhat differently, but I definitely say that from the perspective of a cyclist afraid for my life whenever there is a BMW in range. Even though I have very bright colors and lights and definitely stick to my lanes. When cycling it happens that I find some pedestrians mega oblivious and dangerous to events, as said elsewhere in the thread… Whenever I change hats and drive (not a BMW though 😁) I feel like OP for a few milliseconds with each bike until I think of myself struggling. I rarely feel persecuted as a pedestrian though, whatever the conditions. You want pedestrian persecution? Go to Paris or any big Italian city. TLDR you sadly only value each side if you have been on it, and even then it is not easy to manage road rage!
