You can skip this article; it says nothing interesting and is mostly highly debatable.

> tempting riders into joining actual traffic.

Riders are actual traffic. I got shouted at once (in the UK!) for blocking "actual" traffic while I waited to turn right. "Get out of the traffic". Fuck you dude, I am the traffic. The alternative to me blocking you on a bike is not nobody blocking you - it's me blocking you in a car.
