Fuck me, I swear all I see these days is dangerous cycling (maybe that's a side effect of trying to cycle safer, I used to do plenty of these things).
All the lemmings who follow one RLJer. I don't actually care if people do it safely, I choose not to 99% of the time, but to just follow because one person does it, without looking, is nuts.
Then all the people who think that squeezing between rows of cars a foot apart, just to get to the front and hold them up when the lights go green, and risk getting squashed in the mean time. Seriously, why bother, have you actually considered the risk to gain ratio of that move?
I just sit at the back of the traffic (unless there is a safe way through), and the vast majority of the time I've overtaken the cyclist at the front before we get to the next lights, but I haven't risked my life in the process.
