When I am driving and I see somebody on a bicycle on the road I treat them like a vehicle. But when they start breaking rules I say the hell with them. I will block them every chance I get. I don't mean do something dangerous. I just mean I will try to block his access at the next set of lights. I shouldn't have to pass him after he runs a red light or blows through a stop sign.
Yesterday in Bowness the guy on the bicycle rides between the two lanes of cars as we wait for the red light. He goes through the red light after he see no cars coming. Next red light he goes right through again without slowing down. The cars catch up to him in a couple blocks and we all have to pass him.
Those are the kinds of people who are ruining it for everybody. I bet 50% of the cycliest ride like that.
