I'm constantly amazed at the truly stupid thing cyclists do. Some of them seem to think that stop signs or stop lights are just pretty decorations, to be admired while whizzing by. They wear dark clothes at night, riding a bike with no lights. Bike against traffic rather than with it.

While I never ride a bike myself, I do try to be aware of them, and I count myself lucky that I haven't even had a close call.
