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.

Again, how is the cyclist delaying traffic? Would you be further ahead if he were not there (weaving or otherwise)? It would seem like it is either the traffic light or all the other cars on the road that are causing delays and not the cyclist.
From my view what is the real problem is the part that I underlined above and that you feel it your personal duty to enforce that one particular section of the traffic code exclusively upon cyclists.
