We have to share that bit of space, and believe me when I am driving cyclist can drive me nuts also. However I am in little danger in my car from being hurt by a cyclist - it is not true the other way, and that is what frightens and angers me. I suppose I am just looking for balance.

Here in the US cars are required to share the road with bicyclists but bicyclists seem to think that they can ride down the middle of the street at 10MPH when the speed limit is 45. I had a discussion (ha!) a few years ago with a hard core bicyclist, you know the silly helmet and funny shorts type, and he blew me away when he said there was no way he was going to ride his bike on the side of the road because his wheels and tires cost $450 each. I laughted out loud and asked him if he had good insurance. He didn't get it. I may come at this from a different perspective in that I really get pissed at cyclists who think they own the road.
