Look, you have idiots riding both bicycles AND motorbikes . How many times does it happen that i see a cyclist on a flashy bike being such a cocky idiot on the road that i swear under my breath that he should know better . But also i see motorcyclists behaving like complete morons too - getting too close, showing off their acceleration etc etc.
If a driver is a fvckin moron, then whatever he's riding he'd still be a danger to himself and others on the road. Examples like "the other day a motorbiker was [ doing this or the other] " or " a cyclist [was going to sloow ? came out of nowhere ? etc ]" are completely pointless, you're always gonna get idiots in whatever you do.
I have to agree though that teenagers on mopeds, with only the basic road training, pose real danger to everyone around, whether on motorbike or bicycle. Bring on stricter licensing !
