I used to be a cyclist as well, and really only ever had one bad accident (a car pulled out right in front of me, I slammed right into the driver side door, flew across the hood and landed in a heap in front of the car). The thing however that annoys the #### out of me, is cyclists who want the best of both worlds. Drive in traffic with cars, until there is a red light, then wind between all the cars to get to the front of the line, then take their sweet time getting up to speed. If you want to be on the road, follow the rules of the road, otherwise, get your ass on the sidewalk.

I realize this is perfectly acceptable behavior down in Arizona Bay, but it is quite illegal in most other states, including mine.
