Yes, to the extent to which vehicular cycling differs from typical curb hugging, that is so. However, vehicular cycling requires moving laterally when that is required for safety under the conditions, whatever they happen to be, and according to the rules of the road for drivers of vehicles. That's clearly proper lawful operation that produces safety benefits for cyclists, and, therefore, should not be the basis for increased anti-cyclist prejudice. But, even if it is, the benefits to cyclists are obvious.
