They usually want you to pass when they are on the top of the hill and you can't see if someone is coming. Sorry, but I don't trust your judgement, I need to see nobody is coming for myself.

I don't know if this applies to everywhere. I know alot of people bike and don't do these things. However, these are just a few things about bikes that annoy me.
Most organized night rides don't like the blinking light either. You can't really tell how far away someone is. So they pretty much say, use the blinker setting only if you have a problem.

What annoys me about bikes is how few riders follow the law at night. Taillight (at least in CA) is not required, but headlight use is. Guess how many use a headlight? (Yeah, and the typical wrong-way riders.)
