You get a lot of that in Madrid from non-riders, but it really isn't that bad. It's just another big city, so if you know how to negotiate your way through traffic, you'll be OK. Try riding in the smaller streets as much as you can, rather than on main ones, and beware of cars overtaking you to turn right or coming out at junctions. You'll soon realise taxi drivers are your only true enemy.
I've ridden seriously drunk in Madrid and I've survived, so you'll be OK :) If you're still there in June, I'll be in town for a couple of days, we can go for a ride and a few beers.
