Thank you Gene!

I am actually making an off-topic point. To wit:

Motorists and those with cyclist's inferiority complex are constantly accusing vehicular cyclists of making things worse for bicycling because we impede traffic. I simply took those objections and applied them to a cyclist at a signalized intersection.

The fact is that a signal light, by design, "impedes traffic" every time it causes someone to stop. Causing traffic to come to a complete halt must be far more rude than the legal use of a public travel lane by a vehicular cyclist who only causes mere seconds of delay.

As silly and outrageous my post sounded to you, Gene, is how outrageous the similar objections to VC sound to me.

My comment was therefore satire... No, it was Art! (You can't criticize an artist!

)
