The thing that annoys me the most is the bike salmon, where guys will go down the wrong side of the path (even approaching corners) or on a street. These jerks (among other reckless riders) give us all a bad name.
Actually witnessed the aftermath of a slamon who rode down the oppsosite lane through the corners on Edworthy road one morning and smoked a car head first. The poor drover was terribly shaken up, the front end and windshield was a mess and the rider (removed from scene just before I rode by) was incredibly lucky to receive minor injuries.
