I don't know about other cities, but locally we have a very nice and well paved city-spanning network of bicycle paths that are parallel to, but separate from, the city streets. And we have a group of guys on their $10k bikes who ignore these paths to ride three across in a lane during rush hour on roads that will beat their wheels square, ignoring all red lights and stop signs. They make it hard for me to ride, because I get associated with these people by virtue of riding a bike.
People don't hate cyclists. They hate those cyclists.
This is of course excluding those who hate everything which isn't horrible for the planet. They hate bikes, electric cars, smaller cars that don't burn much gas, vegetables, and any woman with a spine.
