the right-turn fakey

On the way in this morning I was keeping up pretty well with another rider who was (so it seemed) trying to drop me. We were haulin' along and he got away because he pulled a move at a red light that invariably pisses me off when I see it. Here's an illustration courtesy of the gPedometer. I call it the right-turn fakie 'cause I waved bye to him as he made the right, then as soon as he got past the median on the cross street he did a u-turn and kept going the original direction past the light.

My position is, you missed the light, take your lumps. Unclip, stop, and have a sip of water. The fakie is dangerous and probably illegal.
