In London there is a massive awareness of cyclists. Drivers expect to encounter bikes. In much of the rest of the country drivers expect cyclists to potter along on the pavement on flat tyred mtbs.
Bristol is ok but in Cheltenham (where i now live and work) they freak out when I use the road, and get angry. It's mostly through surprise, confusion and ignorance, but why should that be tollerated. It causes accidents.
