But in law (as I understand it, please correct me if wrong) I'm a road user and as I was using that carriageway first (I didn't just step into it) I absolutely have right of way. |

Re: Cyclists riding 2 abreast on busy country roads
A busy country road with traffic being held up by a group of pedestrians blocking the road? No way. Police will move them on for sure

Same old Daily Hail,Daily Hate, ToryGraph,Scum vitriol coming out as usual on cycling topic's, just add road tax, insurance, number plates, helmets,hiviz to the poll, and you'd have a full house If it was blacks versus whites or whites versus blacks it'd be called racism, but as that's not allowed.

And you can ride/drive in Hatched areas if it safe to do so, unless there is. aSolid white line (which applies to all solid white lines) 130 Areas of white diagonal stripes or chevrons painted on the road. These are to separate traffic lanes or to protect traffic turning right. If the area is bordered by a broken white line, you should not enter the area unless it is necessary and you can see that it is safe to do so. If the area is marked with chevrons and bordered by solid white lines you MUST NOT enter it except in an emergency. |

Re: Cyclists riding 2 abreast on busy country roads
We should stop talking about cyclists, they must be listening. There were bloody loads of them on my way home.
I think they are breeding out of spite, ruining the swooping corners for everyone who can go faster than them. Shellfish that's what they are. It wasn't that bad really, yes there were loads of cyclists, but I got over it. Stay safe.

Re: Cyclists riding 2 abreast on busy country roads
20+ years ago cyclists were not a problem. i fully blame the tour de frog programs and insurance premiums. why is it 99% of the riders i see are male? maybe they are not getting their hole...... and thats why they are so pent up.

Re: Cyclists riding 2 abreast on busy country roads

Plus less road rage and less people who didn't get in a tizzy over being held up for a few seconds in their sad little life, by people riding for pleasure, which is what most people on this forum ride for...... pleasure. Just one is human powered, one by an engine. Both have two wheels
