>>Would it kill you to slow down and let the car turn right ahead of you?<<

Actually, sometimes it is not possible. It is how I broadsided a car.

Well, cars sometimes broadside other cars. It's an unfortunate byproduct of operating vehicles on the road.

Here's your statement to which I replied:

I mean, would it kill them to ride behind us at 20 mph for that last 100 yards?

So, would it kill you to slow down inside that last 100 yards to allow the cars to go ahead of you? </rhetorical>

If one of the reasons for cycling is *exercise*, then it should make little difference how fast or slow you ride or if you have to slow down and then speed up.

Simply put: whether you are driving a bike or a car, you are driving too fast if you are unable to slow down at an intersection should one of the events that are predictable at intersections occurs.
