Another hazard is other cyclists or motorbikers deciding to filter down the outside but not looking before they pull out from between stopped cars. Before you move out you have to check that it is safe to do so. The faster you are travelling down the outside, and the closer you are to the cars, the less chance you have of being able to avoid anyone or anything pulling out.
Being able to filter down the outside is one of the great advantages we have as cyclists; it just needs a bit of caution and forethought.
