I sometimes intentionally ride or walk slow in front of cars, just to exert what little power I have over the 2 ton steel deathcages zooming all over my city. Life in my city can just sometimes feel so dehumanizing. Am I pathetic?

If a car overtakes me without leaving room, or does so in an obnoxious way I find them at the next traffic light and filter til I'm in from of them. I then slowly roll of the mark when the lights go and make sure its impossible for them to overtake while I trundle along at 12mph (city limit is 20).
You're not alone man, think of it like you're teaching them a lesson in patience and making the world a better place.

>Am I pathetic?
Yes.
I hate cunts like you, always blocking my way, and slowing me down.
And I say this as a biker myself, because:
a) I am stuck with the cars behind you because it is too narrow to pass the cars and the asshole in front of them
b) Cars treat me like a filthy, stupid hippy that only wants to make their life miserable, because of idiots like yourself, putting a bad light on cyclists.
I chose a bike because its cheap, healthy and in cities mostly faster and more worry free than a car. No need to be all smug about being a thinking individual.
You on the other hand, are as bad as stupid rich girls, driving a fucking SUV-tank, to take their stupid as micro-dog to the coiffeur. Eat shit.

Wait until you get run over and learn a real lesson, don't duck with 2 tons of metal, it will win whether you are in the right or not.

This pretty much. In my country there was an incident where a truck hit about 18 bikers, 1 young boy (13 I think) had to get his leg amputated.

Doesn't matter as long as they can upload the video to youtube :^)

what a win for a cyclist, he is crippled for life but the driver does a couple of months in jail... you sure showed him... enjoy drinking your food through a straw for life.
In my city there is no turn on red, so cages are forced to turn through the crosswalk. But pedestrians have the right of way.
Normally I try to get out of the intersection out of courtesy, but sometimes there is a cager (usually from outside of the city) who starts raging and honking and pushing his bumper towards me to intimidate me.
In such cases, I intentionally go as slowly as possible, if they're being especially obnoxious I take out my phone and start playing with it. They can't do shit and it drives them ballistic.

Holy shit you guys are faggots. You guys are the exact reason people hate bikers, and you're making it so on purpose!

you could say the same thing for any kind of civil disobedience

Cager logic

Yes, you are pathetic.
Life in cities IS dehumanizing.
In fact,
Life is dehumanizing.
