To be fair, as a driver I get pretty annoyed at groups of riders 2 or 3 abreast who insist on making it difficult to overtake them. There’s almost a slight arrogance about them.
OH dear here we go
Why nit go out in a group of riders on the road say 7 of you spread out in single file down roads and let me know how often and how many cars just overtake a few then pull in dangerously into the line ans let me know how safe you feel doing this.
When I ride two abreast the second rider is pretty much in primary so there being no one on the inside would make F all difference
“We could be considerate road users and make it easier for you to overtake us when safe to do so, thus allowing you to continue your journey – but we won’t – so tough sh*t”
If all they met was considerate drivers whose primary response was to overtake without endangering them they probably would do this. sadly many tomes you have to ride in a manner that stops an impatient inconsiderate **** from endangering your life
if you ever rode on the road you would know this…go one say you cycle too as well as your defence 🙄
FWIW when you they get irrate i feel glad i just saved myself from a **** with no consideration for my safety
Seriously car drivers will do all kind of crazy bat shit mental stuff to get past you
Once had a car with a trailer overtake me on ablind bend by being completely on the wrong side of the road [ i was doing 28 mph at the time] and drive straight into a bus. This was my fault for being so wide in the road – Why was i there to stop him overtaking and because when they try this move and see the bus they just pull over into my space and run me over.
