This drives me up the wall, the advantage of riding a bike is you have the ability to switch between a vehicle and a pedestrian, you can travel as a vehicle but at your option can switch to become a pedestrian and take advantage as such things as signalled pedestrian crossings, just follow the damn rules.
This is why I have no sympathy for cyclists who come tearing up a path/sidewalk on their bike and try and run a flashing or solid no walk sign and then get all pissy when I have every right to complete my left turn because they should be dismounting and following the rules of the road.
I have stopped numerous times and told cyclists who flip me the bird to go read the rules before having a hissy fit over something they clearly have no knowledge of.
