As someone who bikes everywhere, I think this is the most annoying thing I encounter.

56. Heres my thing..

I agree with you on drivers running red lights in LA.

What is even more dangerous to me, as a driver, is the cyclist that is going the wrong direction through an intersection when I am making an unprotected left. I am there waiting for a break in traffic from the other direction, I get such a break and initiate my left hand turn only to have a cyclist come from behind me on the other side of the street, going the opposite direction of how should traffic flow, and nearly end up running the guy over.

I really dont want to get a manslaughter charge because they feel they can go any direction they want on the street. And I also don't want to slam on the breaks in the middle of an intersection during an un-protected left hand turn and get T-boned by someone who actually has a green light.

The other thing that is dangerous that I see every day is while walking on the sidewalk with my wife, a cyclist comes barreling down on us from behind, when there is a damn big bike lane just 2 feet to the side. I have had to fight someone who smashed into an old girlfriend like that while we were walking on the sidewalk.
