Well said.
There's one other reason for drivers' antagonism towards cyclists - a sort of unacknowledged jealousy of people who are perceived to behave in ways drivers would, secretly, like to (ignoring red lights, evading queues at junctions, abandoning the road for the pavement) but don't. It mirrors the middle class attitude towards other out groups too (e.g. the media narrative condemning those who claim benefits or display other signs of working class 'irresponsibility').
