It's always open season in blaming riders who engage in such a harmless, benign activity. (Victim blaming is also done by some cyclists who don't conform the their view of how to ride). It is a symptom of our totally motorised country. It is often irrational like the sweeping generalisations (mentioned above) about all cyclist riding with ipods and rljing and riding on the pavements (all relatively harmless activites) whereas a rant about all drivers speeding, talking on mobiles, harrassing people not on cars would be considered crazy
