Interesting, so the law says that riding in the middle of the lane is what is actually illegal.  I'm fine with that.  I just don't think you should be able to pass me at a stoplight, and then go in front of me and slow me down, repeatedly.  The law doesn't seem to think so either.[/quote]

Bikes are allowed to pass on left or right. And when cars are stopped. Motorists have to share the road and deal with it.

So, I don't follow you. [/quote]

Yep, by it appears they are not allowed to ride in the middle of the lane, absent special circumstances.  My experience is with bikers who ride in the middle of the lane so you can't pass them, and then pass you on the right if you ever get ahead.  I knew this was illegal I just was confused about which part.[/quote]

What you are describing is annoying but not illegal. Riding in the middle of the lane to avoid getting hit at an intersection is illegal. But a bike making you pass them repeatedly is bad form and annoying, I agree.  [/quote]

In addition, an uneven road which hardly bothers a driver could be very unsafe for a cyclist. Cyclists are allowed to ride anywhere they need to in the lane. [/quote]
