“I’ve seen them in the turn lanes in the middle of busy intersections as if they were cars.”

Uh, how else does a vehicle make a left turn, if we don’t do it out of a left turn lane?

What is really infuriating is a motorist who speeds up to pass us on the left side, only to slam on their brakes to make a right turn squarely in front of us. I mean, would it kill them to ride behind us at 20 mph for that last 100 yards?”

Most cyclist seem to have that holier than thou attitude towards cars,(I know dozens who bike for exercise or to commute) and I’m pretty sure they are likely suspects when you see a keyed SUV.
And I have seen plenty do some really stupid things in traffic that should have got them killed.
Arrogant, combative, things in some cases.
But cutting off cyclist or not noticing them (or caring about it)I’ve seen done too,. the same people who whip around and cut off a bike rider are the same Nimrods who whip around tractor trailers and then slam on their brakes for a lane change or an off ramp.

If you’ve seen plenty (without anyone being injured) then maybe, just maybe, it isn’t as stupid or dangerous as it appears.
