Exactly. The law allows a cyclist to “take the lane”, so many of us do. This isn’t “policing” other drivers, it’s simply following the rules of the road and staying safe.
But sometimes it's not necessary, then you're just blocking people unnecessarily. Which is not very sociable in my opinion, but I won't freak out and be aggressive/dangerous. But insane people will. And I don't get why someone would choose this confrontation when they can just share the road.
