I think it time we did our own poll, the worst type of cyclist! I put my vote down for the eco-mentalist with a tea cosy for a hat!  Very dirty 1996 Defender 90 - Soon to be mine!

The worst cyclists are the ones that won't get out of the way when I want to overtake them.  (When I'm riding on my bike).

I have two cars, so they must only hate me when I am in my 4x4.
Shows what a load of utter crap the survey is.

It would be interesting to see the questionnaire that prompted the response. I'd bet a substantial wad that there were several leading questions that tilted answers to associate with RR's and 4x4's in general.
We cycle a fair bit and I can't say that we've noticed any majority in 4x4 users being inconsiderate to us. It's trucks and coaches we find give us the closest shaves. These are 9 and 10 in this survey hit list.

I agree Ron, the side one looked a bit iffy (as I've said before I don't find it too offensive other than the rear bumper which now looks angular - not fitting with the rest of the vehicle). I think it looks good from the front hence the swift change 
I was going to register for the Edinburgh to Glasgow cycle marathon to raise funds for the cancer hospice which cared for my late colleague this year but it turns out I'm up in the highlands the weekend it's on - these ones have a purpose although it sticks solely to the road [which is no fun  ].

So if you and elderly person who drives a bus for a living, has a red bmw for running around town and a White Range rover for when the BMW breaks down you are prettry much on their hit list. I just think they hate everyone.
As for feeling vulnerable and in danger on the roads, they are. So therefore maybe they should be a little more considerate of vehicles that are Bigger, Faster and Heavier then they are.
I know when I'm on my bike I'm S t scared on the roads and ride making sure I'm 100% sure of what is going on around me.

my same feelings as DiscoD, being on a bike can be so intimidating; however asking them to be "considerate" of BIG, FAST MOVING vehicles ??? possible it was meant to be "cautious" 
or was that "Get out of the way" my 4x4 hasn't grown up yet

I've got a White Van as well as my D3 so I'm hated twice as much, I have no animosity towards cyclists and when they start paying road tax and insurance I'll respect them even more TDV6 HSE - Light Guards - White Reflective Sticker & that something extra

What the problem we are not in the top 10.
We don't drive Range Rovers.
D3 are not just 4x4's
Unless yours is Red or Black we are not in the list. Roel
