Bicycling on the Freeway

Today I saw a guy attempting to take his bicycle for a ride on the freeway.

The 110 freeway, also known as the Arroyo Seco freeway (the state's oldest freeway with a maximum speed of 50 mph) begins where Arroyo Parkway ends. I was stopped at the right-most lane waiting for the light to go green. I noticed a guy in a suit-and-tie attire between the left lane and the left turn lane, then realized that he was on his bicycle (not a motorbike). I bike to work from time to time and I usually stay either on the curbside or close to the curbside. So I found it odd that he would be waiting for the green light in between those lanes. As the left-turn light went green, the guy-in-a-suit-on-a-bicycle pedaled his way towards the freeway, which at this point I was certain that some crazy accident was about to happen. As this was happening, the driver on the left lane buzzed through the intersection (only left turn light was green at this point) blocking oncoming traffic turning left from the other end. As my light went green and as I passed through the intersection, I saw the suit-guy wheeling back towards the intersection against freeway traffic, both feet hanging close to the ground.

Weird.
