I agree with this.
My original point was actually serious, I don't really have a problem with cyclists, apart from finding them mildly annoying like many motorists. I think it's a sensible idea.
I work in a rural area and spend an annoyingly large part of my drive to and from work crawling behind a cyclist waiting for a safe moment to overtake.

I live in a city with ample road space
and I spend an inordinate amount of time stuck behind motorists who are unwilling to overtake cyclists when there is clearly plenty of room. I'm sure the cyclist would be far happier to not have some spastic hovering by their back wheel too.

IF THEY CAN GET PAST YOU WHEN YOU ARE STATIONARY THEN SURELY THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM WHEN WE ARE MOVING TOO!!!

I, er... have a lot of unresolved rage about some of these issues.

They are the modern equivalent of court jesters.
So it's OK to point and laugh; they actually get highly distressed if you don't as they feel they are not serving their purpose in life.
