Cyclist comes up behind me, without stoping, goes around my left shoulder, and cuts the intersection diagonally then cuts back in front of me to the right as I make the turn. Helmet, flashing light, all the gear. A "proper cyclist" and he's pulling moves like that. It's dicks like this that make me (and other drivers) absolutely resent all cyclists.
Sorry, but there is no justification to tar all cyclists with the mistakes of a few. Moreover while a certain percentage of the cyclists break the law, nearly 100% of drivers break the 3ft (now 1m) separation law, yet drivers give themselves a free pass for that while nitpicking on cyclists.
