I had this happen to me when I was going into downtown across the center street bridge. The next time I got by the bike and traffic stopped I turned the nose of my car right to the edge of the curb. The bike had to stop and when the light turned green I didn't have to worry about passing her again.
The next red light, 4-5 cars behind me all did the same thing.
I bike now but my two pet peeves are bikers who use major roads (like Crowchild up the hill right before McMahon) and bikers who are part-pedestrian, part-vehicle and switch in between. They ride along holding up traffic, but when it's convenient, they hop on the sidewalk/cross walk.
I'm just waiting for some deranged motorist to plow through critical mass one day. It'll happen...
