   That really annoys me.  You get stuck behind someone on a bike who keeps   
   swerving out towards the center line when you try to pass them, you finally   
   get enough room to get around them without cutting them off, you get to a   
   light, and they roll right past you and right through it so you have to go   
   through it all over again.   
      
   That said, most serious bicycle riders in this area avoid the streets with   
   lights.  They only like the narrow, crooked roads.  The easiest way to get   
   them to stop using a road is to add a bike lane.  I am not being sarcastic,   
   it is really true.  The only bicycle riders that will use it are the ones   
   that are actually using bikes for transportation... if they are doing it   
   for fun or exercise, they will stop using that road.

   That is a new one.  I am shocked some of the car drivers here have not   
   tried that one.
