No, motorists don't like them because they are different. That's it. It's someone they can place their road rage on.

    If that were true, you'd expect car drivers to feel the same way about, for example, motorcycles, rollerbladers, and longboarders... Yet people don't have the same feelings as they do with cyclists.

    Also since when do car drivers have any problem whatsoever applying their road rage to other car drivers? Lol.

    Nah, drivers rarely go on the internet to rage about other drivers blowing stop signs, speeding, tailgating, running red lights, or other idiotic things. Cyclists bring out waaaay more emotions in people than other drivers. Just read any cycling thread...like this one.
