Things that make me irrationally mad, part 2,348 in an ongoing series

I am an annoying cyclist. This is because I follow the rules.

When you’re riding a bycicle, the rules of the road do actually apply to you.

You can get a speeding ticket for going too fast, you must ride on the righthand side of the road, and yes, you must stop at stop signs and traffic lights. I do.

But most cyclists tend to ignore traffic laws. I’m not sure if it’s out of convenience, laziness, or a superiority complex. Whatever the reason, it annoys the hell out of me.

I yell at people when I see them cycle through a red light without even slowing.

I might be the only one, but damnit it makes me irrationally mad!
