Stupid bullshit like this is part of why I hate cyclists. Especially the kind that ride in the middle of the road instead of sticking to the bike lake.
If it's unsafe to go into the other lane to overtake, it's probably unsafe to overtake them anyway.
Lots of cyclists hold the lane when they feel unsafe being overtaken as it makes drivers think twice before trying.
Yesterday, my group got overtaken while there was an oncoming car because the driver thought they could get through, horrible position to be in.
Cyclists ride in the middle of the road because it's safer and it's what's recommended to them to do via the highway code (in the UK).
This is so that drivers don't miscalculate the amount of space needed to give the cyclist they don't clip their handlebars with the wing mirrors and potentially kill a guy.
As well as making the act of overtaking a more conscious effort. You ain't going to chance it if you have to fully go into oncoming lane to do so.
