I have been known to do a deliberate wobble - which I think does get you some more room if only temporarily.
Bradley Wiggins himself recommends the occasional wobble for exactly that reason.
I tend to do the wobble after the close passes!

How he must regret his few lines of Verbal Diarrhoea - One hopes anywayYebbut he talks cobblers about road safety.
It's an odd one, this. The usual shortcomings of anecdote and observation apply, whilst the evidence is simultaneously striking and inconclusive. That we have a culture that rewards assertiveness in men and punishes it in women seems obvious, and it is a small leap from this observation to conclude that, in general, we produce men who tend to be more assertive than their female counterparts...
Edited for brevity.
My daughter, 18 and just back from a year overseas, is I think an assertive and confident cyclist.
She missed bicycles while overseas and is enjoying getting back on.
I hope that society doesn't punish her for being confident and assertive.
I sometimes wish she was a little less assertive and a little more inclined to use a vacuum cleaner, but that may just be my middle age and her teenagerness.
That's a bit rich!
