Around here, I’ve seen them get in the middle lane of a 4 lane road to make a left at a traffic light, instead of crossing at the cross walk and then crossing again. So, there they are, in front of a line of cars, and the light turns and we have to wait for them to get on the pedal and get through the intersection. Then, when they get through, they still don’t get over, and force us to wait until they can pass, as though to say, “I have as much right to this road as a car and I’m not moving out of your way.” Douchebags.
Yup...total d-bagas!
And I’m a cyclist myself!

If we are at a red light, and I am on my bike, I can generally beat all the cars through the intersection when the light turns green, because most people don’t floor their cars, and you can accelerate from 0-20 really quick on a bicycle.
I will if possible move to the middle to make a left turn, with the traffic, and I will go when the light allows, and I will usually go as quickly as the cars through the intersection. I will certainly try my best to do so, because I do not want to inconvenience people who could run me over.
