Recently we had a warm spell in the high 50's-60. This naturally gets the cyclists out. IN my area, most of the cyclists/peds are respectful and follow the rules, however their are just enough idiots who make me cringe when ever i see one.
Example 1: A 4 way intersection with a light, each road has a left turn lane and and a right/straight lane. I am going north, al north bound lanes have a red (both left turn and right/straight) east/west traffic has green for straight/right. I see mr. idiot cyclist cruising by me at a good clip and just fly into the intersection. I hear tire screech, and look. A car mus have just missed Mr. IC by inches. This actually got the cyclist to stop and yell at the (most likely according to him) idiot motorist. And pedal off.
Example 2: Driving down a 2 lane road, going up a slight hill I encounter three cyclists riding one of these http://www.meta-bikes.com/images/MarcII455.jpg. Fine, but they were three across. They refused to even consider going single file, but kept going. Due to heavy oncoming traffic, I could not pass for 3/4 of a mile. By the time myself and a line of 20-30 cars passed a chorus of horns was heard.
