there is one guy I run across from time to time while riding that sits and bunnyy hops in place ( on his road bike) at stop lights. I always find a reaason to move away from him or let him stop well ahead of me for the simple reason that one of these days he is going to lose it, or crack his front wheel off and fall and when that happens, I don't want to be around him.

As for obstacles in the road, I much prefer keeping my eyes open, watching the road surface ahead and braking or steering around them . Easier on me and my bike.
