Does anyone else get mildly irritated with bike riders?
Or is it just where I'm at? Here it seems they hog the road and don't watch at all where they going.

I have seen bicyclists blow through intersections ignoring stop signs. But I have also seen cars, trucks and city buses do the same stupid crap.
Bicyclists are under the same rules and regulations as cars with a few exceptions. In Ohio they are allowed to ride two abreast, like motorcycles, on a road. They can use the whole lane. If you need to pass them then wait for the opposing lane to be clear just like you would passing a car.
Most vehicle vs bicycle accidents are the fault of the vehicle driver, not the biker. Drivers back out of driveways into bicyclists. Drivers pass bicyclists at intersections then immediately turn right hooking the bike. Driver throw items at bikers because it is 'funny'. Drivers try to squeeze between bikers and oncoming traffic.
I try to only ride on trails but there are not enough of them and roads are a reality to get from one point to another.
