I wonder if that’s a reversible effect, if cyclists interviewed considered car drivers less than human. I’d venture less so as most (many) cyclists are also car drivers.

Kinda concerning that 30% of cyclist drivers saw cyclists as less than human. Though I think I have experienced that. I regularly ride NZ’s largest century which sees up to 12,000 participants.
