I know I'm jealous, but I do my best to be considerate of the guys as I possibly can and I give them room to move when they do run up the line. At least that way they've got more room to move and are less likely to get caught on my mirror ;). Although I've surprisingly never seen that happen, I've seen some of them move their bikes in spaces that I'm SURE are smaller than their bikes ;).

you know whats even worse, cyclists on pushbikes who ride up the middle of the line and then, if that wasn't bad enough, they lean on yours, or who ever is at the front's car!! that frustrates me!

i don't see what people find annoying about bikes going to the front when we are all sitting at the lights. Monday morning peak hour traffic, when a bike passes me to get to the front all im thinking is i wish i had a bike! :D

Bikes usually take off faster as well so its not like they hold up traffic. I just don’t see what irritates people :confused:

And just for the record, i agree 100% with this :thumbsup:

The only things that annoy me about cyclists is when they are in the left lane doing less than 40 during peak hour traffic causing all three lanes to jam up as people frantically try to get past, and then when they decide they want to turn at traffic lights which barely give enough time for three cars to go through under normal circumstances. They then silently head to the front of the already awaiting queue of cars and prevent any more than 1 or 2 getting through before the lights turn red again :mad: now THAT really gets my goat. IMO they should go to the footpath and get off the bike to cross at the pedestrian crossing rather than holding up traffic.

I am talking about pushbike riders... not motorcycles by the way!!! And those ones where the rider is like, lying down?!

dsont the law say a pushy gets up to 2meters of the lane from the left?

i dont think bikes are a problem as others have said i just dam i wish i could do that...they dont hold u up either, plus ive also had many cars come down the bike lane to sneak infront of peak hour traffic too...there the buggars that should be gettin in the ****.

but yeah, i dont think chassin them will do much good..... when ya kill him u still guan b the one going to jail, he snuk between the cars to the front aint guna do u much justice in court.

just my 2c
