Whats with bicyclists on roadways?

Specifically this brand of retard:

Where I live the overwhelming majority of the road ways have no bicycle lanes on the road itself, just the nearby sidewalks. But these guys are on the same road that vehicles are on and all the traffic has to switch lanes so they don't side swipe these retards.

People here say its "safer" this way and it makes me angry. Use the sidewalk thats right next to the road. If they want to literally play in traffic that's fine by me but I'm worried their darwinism is going to land me in jail if I accidentally hit one of these road pests.

There's bikes without breaks. Fixed gear bikes are notorious for not having them. The reason some douchebags opt for brakeless is "it looks cleaner". These people choose to make stopping at red lights harder because muh aesthetics.

Urbanists glow in the dark. Hit them with your truck.

There's another, much bigger, thread on here that addresses the bike versus cyclist debate, but it also dovetails into all sorts of urban planning-oriented topics:

I don't quite know what else to add to everything, so I'll just reiterate my original view that cyclists do NOT belong on the road and sidewalks should be regarded as the safer/safest conveyance surface. I'll also add that pedestrians have no endemic right to claim sidewalks for themselves and themselves alone. Regarding the argument that cyclists have to use the road when a sidewalk doesn't exist - that only applies if cycling is a necessity and there is not another non-onerous route which DOES sport a sidewalk.

We live in a car-dense society and it is the primary mode of mobility by a huge margin. Certain people may not like it, but it is what it is.
