For the London lot this is all daily fair and I doubt they even think about it. SoulKiss???
Hmm tricky one that - its a case by case basis.

If I am riding with someone else and leading then I will, when safe, make sure there is room for them in all cases - I will even block traffic to let them in - ie put the front of my wheel in a gap and wait until the guy I am riding with has gone round the outside of me and into that gap.

If on my own I will usually make a space, unless I have observed that I really dont want someone in front of me then I will move to block them - this generally applies to scooters and cyclists
