Not every bicycler in the world mind you. If someone is riding on a bike trail, or a sidewalk, or even designated bicycling areas, then that's fine. When they are riding down a narrow street, that happens to always have heavy traffic then it is not ok. Especially when they travel at something like 10 mph and drivers have to swerve/brake like mad just to avoid killing them. You would think that these people might get a clue and use different streets or something.
Instead, the driver has to follow their slow ass for miles until traffic allows them to swerve into the other lane to pass them. Which is just maddening by the way, God forbid they try to be conscientious of the people in 1-2 ton vehicles who could flatten them at any minute. What is worse is when the rider is so physically wide that you cant even pass them on the off chance you might clip their backfat or something. Which would send them careening to their death.
I don't buy this "they have a right to be on the road too" malarky. They should know better.
