It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Many people have spent their entire lives with the idea that car = freedom, and when they see cyclists they fear that they would be forced to give up their precious vroom-vroom-box and associate it with totalitarianism, which they call it communism because of red scare propaganda from the cold war...
This is especially common the more conservative someone is, the more likely they are to be locked into that way of thinking because conservitvism rots the brain. The sheer stupidity of these conspiracy theories would make it glaringly obvious to anyone who puts even the slightest bit of thought.
They literally call the 15 minute city a "socialist conspiracy" of the world economic forum, which they conveniently forget is a capitalist organisation.
In reality both capitalists and socialists should want to have less car dependency, heck, even drivers benefit from having fewer cars on the streets and roads.

I still think it's just basic tribalism. Bicycle rider=wrong tribe.
Anything that isn't a car is a threat to them, but I'd wager they would feel significantly less threatened by it because horses aren't a viable alternative to cars, while deep down they know bicycles can replace cars.
