We all have to get along together.
Like BikeWNC said , once the light turns green and we start moving I shift over to the right and continue on.
Exactly. It's irritating to me when I see bicyclists not just running up the right side of traffic, but running the red light. I think one reason I have a hard time ever wanting to join up with a bike club is how much careless behavior I see among many of these bicyclists on surface streets around town and in the parking lots where they congregate (riding in and out between cars, cutting in front of cars without even looking to name two things).
I take my place in the lane as well.
