I really don't buy into this idea that whenever cyclists gather, they 'antagonise drivers'.
We live in a busy city, there are a lot of protests, and it's just something that happens every once in a while.
Sure, someone somewhere in the queue is likely to get angry, for whatever reason, but at the end of the day people getting together to highlight an issue is just a normal part of city life, and anyone who might get annoyed at a particular protest will want to retain for themselves the right to hold one over issues that concern them. Many who have to wait won't get very angry or annoyed at all, and won't necessarily get annoyed with cyclists in particular.
