My favorite are the cyclists who ride in your lane, despite the fact that there is a 10 foot wide bike lane just to their right.
This is taken to perilous extremes in California. In the bay area we did a day where we closed a bridge to road traffic for an entire day. Only bikes were allowed across. This basically shut down the north end of the bay.
I wanted to tear my eyes out watching it on the news.

PS, their forums suuuuuuck.
PPS, I don't know if it was that actual org that pulled it, just an example of the crazies that ride around in the bay area.
PPPS, did you know that we don't bother repaving roads any more? We just repave bike lanes. Look at the bottom. These asshole actually encourage you to sue the city for hurting yourself/(god forbid) your bike on potholes.
I want to cry.
Lastly, our society, in a badly-developed aim to ecology, tends to favour "not-polluting" vehicles like bicycles over others; this goes even to the point of becoming unfair; so, cyclists are "the saviour of the world", the enlightened race that will save us all, almost surrounded by an aura of celestial light, while car drivers are sub-humans, mostly grim, bad-tempered sick people, maybe with some outright devishly feature. So, if cyclists are holy spirit, they MUST be right whatever they do, they are oppressed and eveything they do is not because they are fu****s, but because they need to defend themselves against evil.
