if you felt safety dictated you stay behind the line of cars, all well and good. if you let cars slow you down to make a statement about vehicular parity, i laugh in your general direction...
you're in the %1 percent club i guess, congratulations, your ersatz medallion is in the mailbag.....
Not VC in the extreme... consider that the narrow lane was not really wide enough to share, but the one motorist made extra room... whould all the other motorists have given way just like that, or was the rider going to have to filter forward in the gutter pan?
I think what the OP did was quite right.
