The big one here is sharing the road, which goes both ways. I don't have an issue with bikes on the road, but most of our small town's roads are one lane in each direction, and far too many bikes seem to think they're entitled to hog the entire lane going 15mph and holding up traffic. The rules in this area are for slow traffic to turn off to allow others to pass (both vehicles and bikes), which bikes almost never do. Then you have the clowns that'll ride 3 across and not let traffic pass, then get aggressive with drivers for honking.

Like yes bikes are legally permitted to use the road, but also be conscious that people have places to be, and your liesure stroll is holding up people from getting to work. Its almost always tourists that bog down the main highway and are jerks about it, most locals that ride bikes tend to stick to the many side streets that run parallel to the highway.

Now where my mom lives in the suburbs, they have the issue of kids on ebikes completely ignoring the rules of the road and causing accidents. These are little entitled rich kids with a big chip on their shoulders and zero supervision, blasting through intersections while ignoring signals, plowing the wrong way down a road, weaving through traffic, etc. Those little shits belong in jail.
