The people they hit - both in terms of killing a pedestrian by slamming them with a 100kg weight at 30kph, and in terms of fucking up the lives, cars, *and* potentially the persons of the people in cars who hit 'em.
People on bicycles are dangerous for much the same reasons as an unsecured passenger in a car is dangerous: they're a large, heavy object with some surprisingly solid points moving at high speed.
