It's really not. Bikes get justified hate for being inherently unsafe. That's a sufficient reason, that's an argument. *No one* will justify bikes getting hate by saying "it's not a car", that's not how an argument works. Unless it's a flawed argument.

Be mindful I'm not saying that's *your* argument, but if what you brought up is the common argument, then it can be safely discarded.

You asked why there's so much hate. Not sure how your analogy tracks. 

A better analogy: You ask "why do bikes get so much hate?" on a car forum. "cause not car" is a sufficient reason.
