Around here I constantly see guys riding on the WRONG side of the road.  The other two popular things are riding down the center lane and riding on the road with no helmet.

I ride right to the front at an intersection.  I would rather have cars pass me up again then leave a hole in traffic going through an intersection.  People don't see bikes.  The hole in traffic makes cars turning think they can slip in.  Real good way to get hit.  It is much safer riding along another car through an intersection.

Stuff like this makes me so angry ... Although I don't have trouble with motorists being aggressive.

Honestly it really bugs me when I ride with other cyclists and they run red lights or take lanes in order to blow stop signs, etc.  Really?  What difference is a couple seconds going to make?  Plus it just makes for good neighbours when you respect the rules everyone else has to follow.

I'll admit - when I'm riding and there's a stop sign I slow right down - but I only come to a complete (unclipped) stop when there are other vehicles around.  I stop at red lights but there are two in town that have weighted sensors and I have the patience for about 3 minutes of waiting for a car to come and help me before I'll run them.
