I think people (drivers and other cyclists) expect folk on Bromptons to be going slow, and they drive/ride accordingly.
Which seems, for some reason, to mean giving you little room to maneuver (perhaps they fear getting stuck behind you like with a learner driver??). Makes no sense, but them's the breaks.
I shiver when I think what it must be like on a Boris Bike.
