Nothing can go wrong here, everyone will happily wave to you as well! The one finger thing is just a weird custom, don’t worry about it!
Maybe you should focus your energy on those drivers instead of writing sarcastic comments about some biker who mildly inconvenienced you by taking the space they are allowed to, and who have to listen to the noise your and all the other cars make (which you don’t realise, because you are sitting inside the comfortably soundproofed metal box).
Err, I think you’ve misunderstood where I was coming from in writing this. There was no biker that annoyed me & inspired this. Instead it was another post to a biking community here asking for advice on riding in cities, & I knew this wouldn’t be right for that thread. This was meant more as snark towards obnoxious drivers & encouraging bikers to be mildly annoying to them.
The SLPT is because this puts the biker at risk due to shitty/obnoxious drivers by being less situationally aware and inciting their road rage at the mildest inconvenience.
