Is it still a dick move if you're not wearing rugby shorts and pull away quick leaving everyone in your dust?
Don't use that route but I do cross it several times a week to go to the gym. Recently saw a guy on a average-ish hybrid roll up on the right of someone on a Boardman Elite with full Di2. When the lights went he was clearly trying to overtake the Boardman guy, going full sprinter mode, and all I could think was "not in a month of sundays mate."

Yes, I'd say it is. Especially if the people at the front have been waiting there for ages and you have no idea how fast they are (or they've already overtaken you when it's safe to do so). It's basically just advanced shoaling for bellends.
Oh, saw a cyclist/pedestrian incident last night which resulted in cyclist pushing pedestrian in a 'pre-cursor to a fight kind of way'.
Lots of pedestrians on that stretch seem to either only look one way, or just don't look at all. Terrifying.

Saw an inordinate number of people wearing helmets on the backs of their heads today. I don't understand why you'd put a helmet on like that.
Also, the two-way cycle lane bit through and across Blackfriars is full of dickheads. The worst is people riding to the front of a red light at the bike lane bit, past everyone waiting patiently. They invariably pull away incredibly slowly, wobble around in front of people and almost always are wearing a helmet on the back of their head and a pair of rugby shorts. WTF?
