So much this. I don't usually commute, but i cycled through central today at 9am and witnessed all kinds of fuckwittery by other 'cyclists'. Surprisingly those driving were well behaved today.
Why when you overtake somebody at a fair rate do they insist on pulling up to the right of you at the lights and then struggle to pull away and are consequently left in the middle of the road??
There's nothing wrong with making the best and most efficient use of the ASL/'cycle box'. If that means pulling alongside (or even in front of) those who may have overtaken me but are content to queue all the way back down along the kerb, then that's not my problem :)
This I'd accept - if I had not left a space to my left for them to pull in to. How thoughtful of me...
Either way. Won't be going out at that time in the morning in a hurry again. Thankfully I work from home...
