    Cyclists can most certainly go into a blind rage as well, acting like drivers aren’t people.

    Acting like drivers aren’t people. Not other cyclists, not pedestrians, just drivers.

    In other words, once again, the fundamental cause of the problem is the cars.

        No, it’s not the machine we’re using, is disconnecting our empathy from that person who inconveniences us

        Exactly: the machine we’re using (the automobile) is disconnecting our empathy from that person who inconveniences us!

      A big part of that problem could be solved by properly seperating bikes from cars and allowing as little points of conflict as possible. Then at least car ragers are surrounded by just cars which have some protection for their occupants, and cyclists are surrounded by other cyclists which can hopefully leave the area of a rager. Id still rather someone ram me with a bicycle than a car.
