While there is no real other solution since the city does not have enough bike lanes, it is still a frustrating experience for drivers. You just were slowed down in order to carefully pass the cyclist and then you hit the red light and you suddenly have to pass him all over again.

This is especially frustrating when:
1) It is rush hour
2) There is bike path 10 M to the right (ex. Memorial, 16th Ave around Montgomery, Elbow Drive).
Why put yourself (and others) at risk when there are safer routes (bike paths and side streets)?
