TGIF! Amusing ride home. One block from work, stopped at a red light. I'm left of a van that's making a right turn. Woman roadie stops on my right, with her front wheel between the van and my back wheel. Pedestrian crossing light engages. Woman says, "I'd go." I sort of look at her sideways and said something about waiting for the green light. (Busy intersection, lots of turning cars, peds, etc.)

So she squeezes between me and the van, and goes through the red light. Light changes green a couple seconds after she runs it. Well. Turns out she's going the same way as me onto the MUP. I just followed her for 3 miles until she turned off. She ignored stop signs, which was okay because I got to reel her back in 3 or 4 times afterward. She added more data supporting my theory that the slower the rider, the more red lights and stop signs get blown by said rider.
