"Whether a respondent cycled or not, not surprisingly, had an important effect on responses and attitudes.
Those who were cyclists were in the favourable position of being able to see things from both the cyclist’s and the driver’s point of view. These respondents were better able to distinguish between different types of cyclists, separating the good from the bad.
Non-cyclists, on the other hand, were generally guilty of linking all cyclists to the same (usually negative) behaviour by association. This phenomenon is typical of the psychological tendency to regard members
of a group as more similar to each other than is actually the case"
"In other words, drivers saw cyclists as an ‘out group’, and blamed them accordingly for what was seen as negative behaviour, whilst exonerating members of the ‘in group’, namely themselves and other drivers."
"For example, while 32% of respondents felt that better education of cyclists would improve the driver/cyclistrelationship, just 19% thought that better education of drivers was required. Further, 11% of respondents were in´favour of better police enforcement of the Highway Code with cyclists, compared to just 4% who thought similar action was required with drivers."
