I could have merged left early and passed quickly, but until I assessed the situation and determined otherwise, there was a high likelihood one of the following cars may have suddenly merged left.

Interesting that the car drivers slowed for another cyclist, and didn't merge into the adjacent lane to pass, but you did. Perhaps they were going to be turning right. That other cyclist (only seen for a moment) looked to be almost in the gutter, yet the car drivers still didn't pass. Any more insight into what was going on?
