I've been using a bicycle for at least part of my commute for over a year now. During that time I've seen all sorts of things from my fellow commuters. Here are some of my favorites.
"I don't stop at red lights." A quote from fellow bike commuter after I showed him a short cut through Annapolis traffic and stopped at a red light at the end of the short cut. Of course he kept going. There are bicyclists that stop at red lights and those that don't.
The pedestrian who was attempting to cross mainstreet behind the stopped cars I was coming up to, who decided to stop and retreat back to sidewalk when he saw me coming. I was actually stopping at my place in line. Confused him so much he didn't know what to do. "I thought you were going to blow by on the right."
The car that decided to take a right at a stop light this morning. By going around the car that was already stopped in the lane he was in. So the car crossed the double yellow lines after I started to turn left into the lane, following a green left turn arrow. Being in a car with headlights on did not make me more visible.
The bicylist that I passed on the trail that I saw later going the wrong way on the road and also going through a red light.
The cars that refuse to stop for me on the crosswalks when the trail intersects a road.
