But even if it isn't a cycle lane, if there is a line of stationary traffic whether you cycle along the left or right of vehicles you are always in danger that a passenger might decide to get off. You are not going to stay in the middle of a stationary line?
I would say it is a good idea to slow right down if you don't have 1.5m between you and the vehicles.
Braincap, I guess the van was in the traffic lane or was it parked? There is a cycle lane I know on Lupus street in Pimlico that is right next to parked cars, using it would be very dangerous.
