So you're for holding up traffic on a major road because it's convenient for you to do so?
I'm for staying safe.
Holding up traffic is not really a lot of fun, but I still prefer it to riding in the door zone and getting dead. I would be delighted if every street had a twelve-foot car lane, a five-foot bike lane, a door zone and room for parked cars. Regrettably, we don't live in that world.
I get that you're frustrated about this, but we have to remember that "Speed Limit 30" is a maximum speed, not a minimum, and it's not a God-given right either. You don't always get to go as fast as your car will take you, and I don't always get to go as fast as my bike will go either. That's life. The polite thing to do is to share the road. I do, and I hope you will too.
