So, a fellow cyclist and three car drivers all thought there was enough room to pass cyclists safely, but you apparently didn't. Or, more likely, you knew there was enough room for cars to pass you safely, but you decided to take an obstructive position anyway, as part of your ongoing campaign to make life difficult for drivers in order to punish them for having the nerve to drive at all. Pathetic, as usual.

(If you really did think there wasn't enough room for cars to pass you, which I doubt, didn't the fact that everyone else there disagreed mean anything to you? Do you think you automatically know better than everyone else (especially scumbag motorists), all the time?  I knew you were an arsewipe but I didn't know you were that arrogant.)
