If you drive a black Ford Ranger, you are a massive puss. Some guy in a black Ranger did that to me on 14th street, at a light, and I almost went ass over tea kettle into his tailgate while I was shoulder checking the car next to me. Pulled up next to him, and he acted like a massive coward when I asked him if he would like to discuss his "etiquette" in the parking lot, right over there.
Because you are lazy, or out of shape, or just a general dick of a driver, which you sound like... you don't have a right to endanger the life of a cyclist. If you have EVER ridden a real road bike, you would get that these things can travel at car like speeds. Blocking the path of a cyclist with a 3000 pound obstacle, that stops faster, is a complete a-hole thing to do, whether the cyclist is right or wrong. There has never been a case of a cyclist killing a driver, but there has certainly been thousands of deaths the other way around. What is the worst the cyclist is going to do, besides slow your day up by 20 seconds? Is that worth causing a torn sack, a broken wrist, or worse... just so you can be the King of the Road?
It is the same as seeing a guy speeding 10 over, and taking the law into your own hands by throwing out a spike belt to impede his progress. The sad thing about guys like you is, whenever you guys get called out, you cower like the spineless twerps you are, and just speed off.
