I'm a very data driven person. Here's an experiment I did that ended up changing some of my driving habits. The important data to me is my total driving time from A to B. So, I measured my total driving time to and from work. I also noted the number of bicycles I had to pass on that journey. If the cyclists were slowing down my total commute time, then there should be a trend in average driving times with 0, 1, or 2 cyclists encountered. No such correlation exists in my data. On average, red-lights and other traffic have more impact on my commute time than do delays caused by cyclists. My conclusion: my emotional response to a cyclist was not proportional to any measurable delay. Now I wait calmly for a safe place to pass, secure in the knowledge that, on average, it doesn't delay me at all. (obviously your commute time could be affected differently than mine, but I encourage you to look at the actual delay, and see if your frustration is warranted)
