This. I rode back home down Chapel St today (another contender for a dangerous road) ...
I often ride north along Chapel in the afternoon and take the same approach, ride wide of the parked cars and slowly past stationary traffic.
Had some hero on a road bike yell out "oh, come on!!" from behind one day as he couldn't get passed me between the stationary cars and tram..
I let him go, then caught him at the Toorak Rd lights 100mtrs later....
