Salmon never think they're the problem.

They assume the bike rider in the middle of the road is a jerk, not noticing the shoulder filled with glass and potholes. They assume the driver who honked is a jerk, not realizing his intention was to give a helpful heads up before nervously passing a bike rider.

Bit of a false equivalency there.

Yup. Not to mention that "riding in the middle of the road" ISN'T a jerky thing to do. It's what you're supposed to do. But then you get honked at by "helpful" drivers giving you a "heads up" before they try to run you off the road.
