Seems like he is making it stoplight to stoplight just as quick as the drivers (i.e. his average speed is the same as the cars even though his maximum speed is slower).

The speed limit is 50. He is doing at most 30.
He is making it to the next set of lights and then weaves between the stopped cars to go to the front of the line.
This person is not following the rules of the road and is causing delays in the traffic as people have to pass him again and again.
This discussion is a perfect example of how cyclists and car drives don't get along. The cyclists are getting upset at me and calling me names when they don't truly understand what is happening.
I have a few friends who ride their bikes to work. I am not a bike riding hater. Everyone of my friends who cycle to work say they agree with what I am saying. If the person is not following the rules of the road and is not keeping up with the traffic they need to get off of that road. They are all fine when I say I pull to the side at the next set of lights in an attempt to block them.
Like I also said. The three times I have done this in my life the cyclist stopped behind me. He got the message.
This scenerio would be resolved if they had a bike lane for the person to ride in.
