Only “vehicular” cyclists are an issue, but TBH even other cyclists hate them.

Drivers should be able to deal with having to slow down a bit for a few seconds without getting upset about it. If you saw a driver shouting out of his window at a traffic light you’d think they were insane.

What’s a vehicular cyclist?
Squirrelsdrivemenuts@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
A vehicular cyclist is a cyclist riding as if they were a car, so in the middle of the lane etc. It’s the adviced way of cycling when there is no proper infrastructure, as sticking to the side makes you less visible and more likely to be dangerously overtaken. It depends on the context of the road whether it is the best way, but I would not call them the problem, just a bad solution to a problem that should be solved by infrastructure.

I had a traffic light swerve into the second lane as I was passing. I totally almost killed it.
