Those are the ones. Isn't that a ticketable or arrestable offense?
If it isn't, spandex should be.

Most (all?) states have laws establishing penalties for "obstructing traffic".
Unfortunately, I would wonder whether any cyclist has ever been ticketed for this, or for running a stop light or stop sign or, for that matter, violating any of dozens of other traffic laws which motorists must obey. How often is a cyclist arrested for DUI? How often is a cyclist ticketed for "reckless riding" or riding too fast for conditions, or failing to yield?
They want the same privileges as motorists, but don't want the same responsibilities. If a car hits a cyclist, it's the driver's fault. If a cyclist runs into a car, it's still the driver's fault. If my car is parked legally, and a cyclist runs into it and damages something, my insurance and my deductible pays for it, unless I haul the idiot into court (if I'm lucky enough to be able to catch the guy-no license plate number to track him).
Motorists pay huge insurance premiums and lots of taxes for the use of the roads. Cyclists pay nothing, and they wonder why some motorists don't appreciate their antics.
