You've hit the nail on the head. There was no animosity in those days because the bike was used for a useful purpose...kids going school or where ever, blokes riding to work, paper rounds etc. Nowadays they're an expensive excuse for lycra clad tour de France wannabees to clog the roads up on their pointless journey to nowhere in particular. Hence the animosity nowadays.I used to cycle to my school sports ground near Southern Cemetery from Hulme, that was back in the 60's, there was a lot less traffic around then and I don't recall nearly as much animosity..
