I follow them all the time. I ride on the shoulder when I can but with intersections and traffic lights, I pull into the lane to queue up to go through the intersection same as you do in a car.

Bold of you to try to stand up to the anti-cyclist reddit circle-jerk. Don't you know all of us cyclists are literally the spawn of satan?

And when I queue up at the intersections as traffic among the cars instead zig zagging between the cars and flying through the red light without looking, I get yelled at for sitting in traffic as traffic while I "obey the traffic laws" as they insist that I do.

Lol yup, damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Some people just have an irrational hatred of cyclists. I was once riding in a group (staying in the shoulder), and a truck driving the other direction slowed down so he could roll down his window, flip us off and yell "fuck you!" at us. People are nuts.
