I can't understand why anyone would have a problem with this. If Vehicular Cycling demands that a cyclist be forced out of their comfort level without justifiable cause then as a concept it is fundamentally flawed.
Pulling over to avoid unduly holding up traffic obeys that tacit compact that as road users we should not just obey the rules but also respect the flow of traffic, regardless of whether the design of the road meets the needs and demands of it's users.
