I understand the shaking. Even if the bicyclist is behaving recklessly and totally in the wrong, if you hit him/her, you can't help feeling that you're the villain.
I think that more bicyclists obey traffic laws (or at least disobey them in a safe manner) than don't, else we'd see a lot more accidents. But the ones who act like jerks stick out, just like the bad drivers, crazy motorcyclists, or oblivious pedestrians out there.
