He peddled hard right away when the light tuned green to get in front of my while I was still slow and clicking into my peddles. Hey then proceeded to ride at a leisurely 10 mph in front of me, in a narrow bike line with thick stop and go traffic, making sure I had zero options but to follow his slow pace till he turned off a few minutes later. Not sure why he felt the need to pass me at the light, had he gone slower and followed me the first few seconds I would have been in front of him and soon gone, but he made a definite point of getting in front of me and then slowing down.
