However, I see just as many cyclists behaving like aresholes as
car/van/lorry drivers,

That appears to be by you in a direct ancestor of this post. Do you
deny you said it?

Actually, yes because what I disputed (somewhat imperfectly) was
Clive's assertion that, "it is unreasonable to excuse bad bus drivers
by claiming that cyclists are as bad." I certainly made an
observation on the conduct of some cyclists, but this was never an
explicit or implicit "excuse" for bus drivers or anyone else. The "as
bad" bit isn't the issue, the supposed "excuse" bit is.
