Okay I'll bite. Today as I drove home from work, I passed a guy riding a bike. This was on a road with 2 lanes in each direction, no shoulders, lanes not wide enough to pass a cyclist without crossing the line into the next lane. At every red light, the dude on the bike passed all the cars waiting for the green and ran the light. When I reached the intersection where I turn left, I was the first car at the red light in the left turn lane. Cycling dude rode up between the lanes on my right and stopped in front of me. He totally surprised me -- if the light had turned green as he pulled in front of me I would have run him over as I accelerated.
As long as so many cyclists ride with such disregard for the traffic rules, we will not be seen as vehicles.
