There are plenty of reasons given in the thread as to why this might be happening. I don't think vulnerability affects anything - you should've seen how close some people got when I had a childseat on the rear (not on the Brompton).
This is more along the lines of 'perceived 'weaker' road user (in a misguided hierarchical sense) needs to get the fuck out of my way'. I've also stated I hadn't adjusted my riding style initially. I was being as assertive as usual, and looking back as much too (a lot).
I can let all that go, but the suggestion I might have an ironic moustache is unforgivable. Fuck you.
