[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just wish that bikers wouldn’t roll past all the cars and go to the head of the line at red lights.  We all just crossed over the double yellow to get around the cyclist, then the cyclist weaves past all of us at the light, and we have to pass him again.  [/quote]

This.

I’ve (and everyone else) have had to pass the same cyclist a half dozen times. We idle along behind them at 11 mph waiting for a chance to pass them safely. We do, and then when sitting at the next red light, the cyclist goes around all the cars waiting at the light, pedals through the red light, and everyone is back behind them again. Rinse and repeat. So 10-15 cars are all reduced to the speed of a single person on a bicycle, instead of doing the posted 30 mph speed limit.

If you can’t see why this would irritate people, then you are a sociopath. [/quote]

You aren't the brightest bulb on the string but that just makes you an average driver.

You realize that all that this means is that your angst about the passing the cyclist just means that he is travelling the same average speed as you?

If you didn't keep passing the cyclist only to race up to the next red light  and sit there and instead traveled at the cyclists speed you would get there just as quickly, the cyclist would be safer (as would you and everyone else on the road) you would safe gas (and reduce your global warming footprint) and wear and tear on your car.

But hey your SUV is engineered to go fast so damn it you are going to gun it in between traffic queues and pass that cyclists.

Only to have him laugh at you as he putters past you 20 seconds later at the next light.

Relax - being uptight and acting entitled doesn't get you home any faster and when you post about it on here you just reveal how dumb you are.[/quote]
