    Taking the lane shouldn’t be necessary if there are actual bike lanes and you don’t need to turn. This sounds like deliberately blocking traffic.

      You may be correct, but if I’m not fully convinced there are proper bike lanes both ways in OOP’s post.

      If the cyclist provision is a “sharrow” then the bike should be in the centre of the lane. If the cyclist is turning left without proper turning infrastructure they can be in the centre of the lane. If it’s a divided lane then they should be on the side.
