No, it only adds to the culture that says there's something wrong with some cyclists, some of the time.
Example
Yesterday AM whilst I was waiting in traffic at the Strand junction someone asked me to move out of the way, seemingly so he could filter to the front and get into the roadworks of death before everyone else waiting.
I moved and was treated to the sight of him actually wedging his bike between a bus and nearside of a car whilst trying to go through a gap and forgetting he had a 3 foot wide set of double panniers behind him. If either of them had moved while he tried to back out he would have been fucked.
When he had extricated himself the lights went green and as I went past him I just said "it wasn't really worth it was it?" and he refused even look me in the eye.
