Before I bought my SV I was a club cyclist riding 200 miles a week in all weathers and for many years we as a club had been amazed at the antics of said BMW drivers - get cut up and what do you know its a BMW, spot a BMW ahead or behind and be prepared to take avoiding action.

You notice these things more on a pushbike as you are much more vulnerable to being knocked off by inconsiderate driving.

I didn't realise that other roaduser groups were aware of the phenomenon until I read your forum, we'd come to that conclusion entirely independently, so weren't influenced by the media stereotyping stigma thing.

Obviously not all BMW drivers are bad but there is definitely a higher proportion of bad (aggressive) drivers in that group, by the way the bike club secretary had a BMW.
