Oh the other thing I love about cyclist *******s is that they want the same rights as cars but don't think stop signs and stop lights apply to them.
They're just yield signs for bicycles.

Why can't everyone just use common sense and help everyone else out?
Driving down the road when the guy in the very front is turning left, stays in the very middle of the lane. Everyone has to sit and wait 2 minutes for oncoming traffic to go by because we can't go around him. Because this guy couldn't move his car 16 inches further left, now we're going to hit every light and traffic backups, he just made hundreds of other peoples drives 5-10 minutes longer.
If you're riding your bike, there's countless cars behind you that can't go around because of oncoming traffic, you see the shoulder is clear/clean, you scoot over so they can go around. Doesn't hurt you, doesn't hurt them, benefits everybody. You're probably less stressed worrying about a car hitting you, they're getting to their destination faster, wins everywhere.
Do you have to? No, but you could just be a decent person and help the flow of traffic and not ruin the upcoming flow of traffic, affecting thousands of other people trying to get where they need to be. I'm sure there's other things in life you don't have to do but do anyway because it benefits everybody.

Come on cyclists, just be nice and get over to the far right so we can threaten your life and make an unsafe pass with 4" of clearance! We just need to feel ALPHA and make it to the red light first!

It has nothing to do with feeling alpha. The days I drive to/from work and there's no idiots on the road are 15+ minutes faster over a 30 mile drive, it's not just me, it's hundreds/thousands of other drivers that end up getting ****ed because of one inconsiderate *******.

My only thing with cyclists is I'd like to see them pull over to the side for a minute every now and then so the 6+ cars behind them that are traveling at less than 20 mph can actually pass rather than getting conjested and having to risk overtaking against potential oncoming traffic. I see a lot of near misses that could be avoided if cyclists were just slightly my courteous of drivers

guy on bike comes up to blinking yellow light, (he had the right away) stops right in the middle of the intersection (literally takes both feet off the pedals and stands there) puts his left arm out to say hes turning left, then starts going again and goes to the shoulder and looks at me like im nuts because i shook my head at him

Yes you should. Bikes need 3' of clearance for safety. Best practice is to change lanes to pass.Please return to driving school.

Average car is 6 feet wide. Average lane is 12ft wide. 6 +3=9 leaving the vaginal having cyclists 3 feet of operating room.
If I put 2 to 3 feet of my car in other lane you have 5-6 feet to operate.

Not necessarily, lanes can be as narrow as 9.5 ft wide

But correct, passing around a blind corner is never safe.
Passing over a double yellow line is GENERALLY not permitted, but it's permitted in Ohio to pass a slower road user PROVIDED
a) They're traveling less than 1/2 the posted speed limit
b) It's safe to pass without exceeding the speed limit
c) It's safe to do so (ie. it can be verified that there is no oncoming traffic)

Along the light rail in Houston you can't turn left, well I witnessed this cyclist I'm assuming with headphones on, completely run a red after looking both ways but didn't check for the train coming behind him. He swerved left and the train slams on the brakes. One lucky mother****er. I regularly see cyclists doing dumb **** at our intersection.

And of course they got their stupid fukking professional bicycle riding uniform like they're competing in the Tour de France...I get the urge just to turn my car slightly into them but I pussy out every time.

Biking on roads with real traffic is natural selection/darwinism at its finest.
Brb riding a bike on the same road as cars that weigh multiple tons and are capable of going 100+ mph that could kill a biker with one wrong move. It's like walking across the targets at an active shooting range and hope you don't catch a bullet. Let them keep doing it and the problem will sort itself out in due time.
That being said I have some chill friends who bike to work and they mostly stick to trails or less trafficked areas. Most other bikers who ride on the big roads are arrogant dix.
