Drivers Think Cyclists Are Entitled. Until They Watch This

Are cyclists really arrogant and entitled… or is that just what drivers like to believe? Every time you scroll through the comments section of a news article about cycling, it’s the same story: “Cyclists think they own the road.” “They don’t pay road tax.” “They’re all Lycra-clad lawbreakers.” The data doesn’t back any of that up. In fact, most of what people believe about cyclists comes from decades of media bias, political deflection, and plain old car culture conditioning. In this video, we break down the “Arrogant Cyclist” myth — the idea that cyclists are selfish, reckless, and entitled — and reveal who’s really acting entitled on our roads. Spoiler: it’s not the person on the pushbike. We’ll dig into how the media fuels the cyclist vs driver divide, how “road tax” is a myth that’s been dead since 1937, and why people are so quick to label cyclists as arrogant for simply existing in traffic. From 95% of road space being dedicated to cars to the billions of pounds car dependency costs the NHS and taxpayers each year, this episode unpacks what’s really going on beneath the surface. Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: Cyclists aren’t the arrogant ones — they’re the visible ones. And visibility challenges entitlement. When you’re used to total dominance on the road, sharing space feels like an insult. That’s why every cyclist asking for safer infrastructure or 20mph limits gets branded as “selfish” or “elitist.” We also explore the psychology behind road rage, why the sight of a cyclist triggers such an emotional reaction in some drivers, and how decades of “car first” propaganda have shaped the way we view roads, responsibility, and risk. From headlines that vilify cyclists to politicians who score cheap points by “cracking down on bike riders” while ignoring the damage caused by reckless driving — the goal is the same: keep people divided. Keep drivers angry at cyclists instead of questioning why our cities are so dangerous, polluted, and congested in the first place. This isn’t just another rant — it’s a data-driven look at how narratives get twisted and why it matters. Because the more people buy into the “arrogant cyclist” myth, the harder it becomes to make roads safer for everyone — including drivers. So before you call a cyclist entitled, ask yourself — who’s really acting like the roads belong to them?
