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.

For effen sake you guys. Read what I am saying and don't make me into this awful road rager who is cutting off cyclists and cars.
I am talking about the situation where the person on the bike can't keep up to traffic and we have to pass him more than once. Then the next set of lights he passes all the cars that are waiting. So then we have to pass him again because he can't keep up with traffic.
So the next time I stop at a red light and I see him two blocks back I will stop close to the curb so he can't get by me. I am not doing this at 50 km/h. I do this as I come to a stop. I watch the guy on the bike and don't just shoot over there.
That is two of you guys jumping to conclusions and calling me names over it. Effen calm down and pay attention before you start attacking somebody.
