2 tons of motor vehicle vs 210 pounds of man and metal.

I'd move out of the way when a car would like to pass.

Condition of the road irrelevant.
Sit side by side and chat by all means but when a car is coming its just polite to move over and let them through.
Its harder for a car to safely pass two cyclists than it is for a cyclist to tuck back in.

Its even worse if its a busy road.

I only ride side by side when the road is clear and wide enough for it to be safe.
Some cyclists don't seem to get it and just side 2 abreast.

Its annoying and not needed on their part.


The cycle lanes down here are generally clear and clean.
For the few we have.
