They are quite well designed for a cyclist. Just as our motorways are quite well designed for a motorist.
Really, you are complaining that people on bikes are in your way? I've certainly heard that complaint before, but....
Helpful hint - people on bikes are often travelling quite a bit faster than people in cars. Even if they are all going *gasp* less than 20 mph.
(There have been several friendly competitions around here getting across the city at rush hour. People on bicycles finish in the first wave. People *running* (we have the whole Boston Marathon thing, plus an app that is developed here, to prompt some really good runners out for the friendly) finish in the second wave. People on public transit (trolley or subway) finish in the third wave. People in cars, oh well....)
