Why do you do this? Pride? Ego? Just being a jerk? Please explain.

It makes NO sense. If the cyclist keeps getting past you, even if you block him, he will pass you again, and again, and again once the light turns green. Unless of course you intend to keep blocking him.

I drive my car, I ride my motorcycle, and I ride bicycles. So I can see it from every angle. Sometimes you have to just take the 'live and let live' attitude. NEVER have I intentionally blocked the path of a cyclist, for whatever motivation there may be. It is just rude, and most importantly, dangerous, as there is so many more things you have to pay attention to besides guys blocking the shoulder when you are on a bike.

You might want to reconsider how you treat people trying to make a difference for their health, and the environment. However, and most importantly, since it seems to be all about you, they are de-congesting the roads for your 3/4 ton deisel truck you are going to pick up a can goldfish food in, at Walmart.
