The most egregious stunt I've seen a bicyclist pull took place at Ocean Ave & Victoria St, San Francisco: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ocean+Ave+%26+Victoria+St/@37.7260644,-122.4649679,19z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7dc9486458b5:0xf298534dc5eec780!8m2!3d37.7260633!4d-122.4644207?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ocean+Ave+%26+Victoria+St/...
There was a Muni Metro light rail train (eastbound) stopped at the red light with passengers disembarking onto the narrow island, there are no cars in the lane between the island and the sidewalk so folks are crossing the street after leaving the bus.
Young (20's) guy on his bike comes zooming down the hill (from the West), sails through the people crossing the street and through the red light (blind, because of the train and the slope of Victoria st.) He's got both hands off the handlebars, holding his phone, texting or whatever, his eyes are on the phone not on the road, he's got headphones in, and the icing on the disaster cake: no helmet.
"Life's pretty cheap with that sort."
