Quit your whining.

Bicyclists are traffic, and by definition don't impede it.

I've never been "impeded" by biyclists when I drive my car or motorcycle,
so why are you so inept that passing such a slow vehicle is a problem?

By law in IL, bicyclists are entitled to the full width of the traffic lane.
Most of the time, especially in the city, they tend to hug the curb side of
the curb lane, allowing motorized traffic to go by. Every now and again,
though, a militant bunch or another blocks up the two lane suburban artery
roads here with their 15 mph asses. Traffic? Yeah, I suppose they are.
Special status in the law, however, shouldn't preclude courtesy and
consideration for others. Come to think of it, grown men wearing brightly
colored leotards have very little to say that might interest me.
