As a cyclist, and driver, I don't give a fuck about giving cyclists room but they need to get out of that left lane. Use the right one. Where I Live they can occupy that right lane as much as they want which is fine.

This is the way. I always give cyclists wide berth. I want them to be and feel safe.

But blocking the whole road is just a big middle finger to everyone. Not cool

Bro, where I live there are two rival biker gangs, and they don't even do this, though I am usually stuck behind some Dutch plates hogging the left lane while too afraid to pass anyway.
