Reply to: cyclists become most indignant if you hit them?

The usual CUK extrapolation. A few cyclists are a pain

Depends where you live. On the narrow country roads round here, with villages that have parked cars, I'd say 99.999% of cyclists are a bloody nuisance. So many go in groups with little space between them and instead of needing a clear 8ft to overtake you need 30 ft or more. Have been stuck behind them on single track roads where one cannot overtake even if nothing is coming the other way.

I thought DUI rules were the same and pavements had bylaws which they do.

Millions of them where I work (it's probably worse then Holland although admittedly I'm only 30 minutes from the border) but they are, in the majority, well behaved and are well catered for:




They don't ride though:

But riding 2 abreast is allowed

Sorry I added "Like all legislation, the highway code is full of ambiguities like 'use a cycle lane if it is there but it's not compulsory' "but I couldn't have saved it.

The rider on the right of each pair could not by definition, have been keeping to the left.

How is this so difficult to understand? They were 2 abreast (which is not "more than two abreast") and were on the left.

The rider on the right of each pair could not by definition, have been keeping to the left.
