Similarly, I’ve seen more than one accident caused by a pedestrian stepping into traffic without looking, taking out a cyclist in the process (from between vehicles, eyes on a phone). Nothing too serious, but only by luck. No one is overtly concerned by traffic laws in SF regardless of the mode of transit.
On the (literal) one side, two ton death machines trying to run you down and honking if you're not as far to the right as physically possible, safety be damned.
On the (literal) other side, people staring at their phones wandering out without paying attention calling you aggressive for existing.

Replacing “cyclist” with “motorist” and then “pedestrian” with “cyclist” would make your sentiment outrageous.
Like I said, cycling culture is aggressive.

What a world.
Share the road.
And use your brakes.
