True, I didn't mention other cyclists turning onto Embarcadero, as that is also another threat, as are bikes ridding across the crosswalks with pedestrians, bikes going from the sidewalk/path to bike path, etc.
As I said I always slow down (very close to a stop or stop depending on visibility) and look before going through, so I will see if there are cyclists who need to merge in an yield to them. The cyclist that blow through without slowing down is more of a concern here.
What I hate more then anything is when cyclists weave through pedestrians in a cross walk, often making the pedestrians stop or slow down when THEY have the walk signal. I also don't like when pedestrians with a don't walk symbol cross when bikes are coming through with the green light and expect that the bikes (or cars) should stop for them (I wonder how many of these would do the same if it was a car coming at 35 mph.
