At least they're not driving, right?

Tbh I'd rather they drove cars because at least then they'd understand they're in traffic and not out on a fun little adventure. They'd understand they're controlling a moving vehicle at dangerous speeds and not just doing (what they think) is an alternative to pedestrianism.
It's incredible how I'm inches away from terrible disasters every day because of some dumb american who decides to suddenly break in the middle of a bike highway or something. When they tell me to "relax" for yelling at them in reaction to them almost killing me, I should be allowed to hit them with a stick, like it used to be legal to do to swedes.
Also the roads are small and there's no parking and lots of zones where cars aren't allowed, so it would all in all mean I'd interact way less with them.
