Cyclists like this guy are one of the PRIME reasons drivers down here are so hateful towards bicycles. I'm with the city on this one, sorry. If you want to use the roads with the cars, you have to follow the same traffic laws. If you want to thumb your nose at "laws", then look at it as a PATTERN. When you disrupt a normally predictable traffic pattern by filtering, going through red lights, you lead drivers to think they don't have to be prepared to give a cyclist like me, who STOPS at lights and DOESN'T filter, the space I occupy between them and the car in front of me. If they're expecting me to filter because all the jackwagons have gotten them used to it...all those jackwagons are part of the reason my risk of getting rear-ended (or having crap thrown at my head out of passenger windows) is so bloody high.

I'm tired of stopping at a light just to have another cyclist blow past me and through the red light. Guess who gets all the hateful looks? Guess who's wheel the SUV creeps up on as a reaction to your blowing a red light? MINE. Because "all you cyclists look the same".
