it appear to me that the motorists are only annoyed if a cyclists is on the right position but not on the cycle lane (when one is presented).
When you're not on it, they'll shout at you, honk at you, even on those ridiculously narrow bicycle lane on Putney High Street/Tibbet's Ride (as narrow as a double yellow line).
But when one isn't presented, they're perfectly fine with you near the centre of the lane, it look 'normal' to them, and they don't see you being in the way.
it's down to the cycling Infrastructure that what made people think they should ride as close to the edge of the road as possible, and infrastructure play a massive roles in our behaviour.
