Why do Magpies attack & swoop on bicycle riders only and not pedestrians,...

Magpies don't like bicycles, or those who own them. I think they become more ferocious when Schwinn's approach vs. some other brand. Oh, and you can forget about little kids with playing cards in their bicycle spokes. That really drives the magpies mad......Ha ha..
 
I would have to say it has something to do with where their nest is. I have seen them attack pedestrians before. I used to work in downtown Tulsa and there was a large bush on the side of the building that people walked by. There was a magpie nest in the bushes and they would attack anyone that was going by. It could also have something to do with what your wearing or something about the shiny coating on a bike.
