I don't give cyclists much thought!
If they are in my line of sight I stay out of their way and yield to them.
The dumb ones or ones with attitude get run down by less alert drivers on cellphones so instead of getting annoyed, I just pitty them and decide whether to turn on the window cam so I can send their collision to a TV show or submit it as evidence for an unfortunate driver.
I'n my area the road cyclist population seems to rise and fall every year and I expect that attrition and Darwinism plays a role in that.
The quality of driver being turned out in Socal these days is probably somewhere between the ability of a 5 year old and a grown Chimpanzee with 20:50 vision ability at best, no situational awareness what so ever, and about 20 seconds of heads up time out of every minute.
We need the Auto drive cars and FAST, or STOP giving out driving licenses until people don't just know how to drive but are actually COMPETENT at driving.
