They want to be treated like a car until they come to a traffic signal or a stop sign and then they cruise right on by.
I have no issue with them on the road, but it's dangerous to ride with cars on highways and larger arteries.

They consciously undertake an increased risk then expect everyone to grant them special treatment.

I used to get so mad when they would do this in morning rush hour traffic in Dallas. You'd have to drive slower than the speed limit until you could get around them. Then they'd ride past the cars that had just passed them and you have to drive below the speed limit again. The ones that I would encounter all did that.
What I didn't get was that they could have ridden a block north or south and been on a much less traveled road. I'm talking about Lovers Lane or Mockingbird Lane headed west through University Park.

I do, and it has nothing to do with their manners.
Your regular, standard person on a bike isn't training for the Tour so they can only get up to a certain speed, which is typically less than the speed limit and far less than the speed your average vehicle is traveling. I'm not even talking about highways and large roads, I'm taking even just smaller surface streets, it's ludicrous that you can have a line of cars 15 deep riding behind someone just becuase they're on a bike. It's unsafe.

i used to cycle when i lived in houston, though we'd go out to the outer communities for weekend cycling ... this post is spot on ... just about everyone inside a n'hood like rice village will ride right on thru the stop sign or red light and expect everyone else to stop ...
