The cyclists have every right to use the road as you do, and whether you like it or not is immaterial. The only exception is a freeway.

The assholes are the people in the two-ton death machines who think it's their prerogative to endanger someone's life because they want to get to that red light ahead two seconds faster.

    I haven't driven a car in years.

    You're an asshole if you block traffic for literally no benefit to anybody and you will be treated that way whether you're doing it in a car, bicycle, mobility scooter, or just dancing in the middle of the road taking videos during traffic.

    To be clear, the other dumb laws for 2wheelers include where filtering and splitting are illegal, allowing cars to park blocking the bike lane, not allowing bikes to use sidewalks and instead forcing them to act like cars.

    Going slower than you normally go is not blocking traffic. You will wait until a you reach a passing lane like a fucking civilised human being.

    I hate cars because mass use of cars is detrimental to everybody's mental and physical wellbeing.

    You hate cars because it gives you a pretense to be an asshole.

    Also part of the reason I love motorbikes and ebikes is that I can simply go around obstacles like cars, pedestrians, road construction, you apparently. The freedom promised by cars is only realized by bikes.
