This is the best simple, straightforward guide about how to safely ride in the city that I think I've ever seen. I especially want to impress #9, subpoint 2 on, like, everybody in the world. Hat tip to coraline.
As a car driver I think I also really hate cyclists who are jerks in traffic in unnecessary ways, running red lights in traffic, things like that; I just wind up thinking, HEY, it's YOU that makes cars think I'm an asshole when I'm on a bike! GRRR.
When I'm on a bike, I just mumble "rzmfrzm!@#^^*!% hotshot hipster" at those people, because from that perspective they bother me less.
