I wish (some) cyclists would decide whether they are pedestrians, and stay on the sidewalk, or road-users, and stay on the road. I have no problem with them if they stick to their bike lanes and I can stick to my car lanes but when they weave in and out, have no way of signaling and don't use their arms to point, when they run a red light by weaving on to the sidewalk or nudging halfway into the intersection, that pisses me off. I think that's the real reason so many people can't stand cyclists, because if they're slow but steady then there's no problem, but when they deliberately weave around cars recklessly and never look, that's when my patience wears a little thin.
But I'm hardly going to congratulate them for exercising or for not polluting the environment. If they want to do that then it's their business, I'm not going to reach out and give a cyclist a medal. I just want to get from point A to point B and know that both cars and cyclists will stick to their lanes, obey the rules and make themselves visible and make it clear what they're intending to do.
