Apparently we are just going to agree to disagree. Sure cycling past cars at a red light saves you time. But what I don't understand, and what no one has yet been able to explain to me is how cyclists can expect a full lane when cars are passing them, however, not expect a full lane when they are passing cars. At one point, you want all cars to change lanes to go around you and then at the next point, that rule is disregarded because it's easier for you.
I don't expect a full lane. Just don't speed by me and try give me a as much room as possible. Personally I don;t expect a full lane.. all I really need is a couple feet.
