Cycling in Waterloo Region

[mpd618]

I sometimes do that on King Street in downtown Kitchener, where a line of cars behind a left-turning car at Frederick can extend past the next light. The primary reason for the delay is the physical space the cars take up. Going "single file" doesn't make any particular moral or geometric sense - and it means even fewer cars fit in the space between lights. If I squeeze past the queue on the right, I can make it through on a green light and no one else is affected.
