I get held up for a few seconds, it's still too much.
So you have completely unrealistic expectations of reality, no wonder you feel like there's a war against you and every traffic jam has a cyclist at the head of it. You massive fruit loop.Get over yourself
I'd advise that you stop being a bellend and pull your head out of your arse.

Furthermore, the traffic and congestion you encounter is caused by other motorists, and emphatically not caused by cyclists.
actually not 100% the case, the more accurate thing to say is that 90(ish)% of traffic/congestion is caused by other motorists. I'll grant you that slow moving traffic caused by cyclists isn't usual but it does happen - is it worth complaining about? Normally no, but when it's a couple of cockwombles blocking the road on their ride then it does get people riled - in the same way that cyclists (rightly) get riled when cars block them in townsSo I would say that congestion as how most people understand it, is not caused by cyclists.
Also, barring a few tts which you get in all modes of transport, if a cyclist is "blocking" the road, it's because there isn't room for a safe overtake. For example, if coming past parked cars or a pinch point, it's necessary to take a central position in the lane to discourage bad drivers from forcing through where there isn't room to do so safely.
