Good for you. My only complaint with bicycle riders is when they ride down the middle of the road. Let me explain. Where I live has a private road. Bicycle riders who don't live here, not that it matters, ride in the middle of the lane and won't pull over for traffic. This pisses me off.
Political uncorrectness my man; you and I need to get with the program.
I’m sure you can haul hay and cattle and fertilizer with a rickshaw if you put your mind to it.
If they ride on the white line too many drivers will try to pass without moving to the left. I hate it when a car brushes by me a few inches away.
Pass ‘em like they were a farm tractor, ie move into the other lane.
A bicycle is like a slow car. I learned the hard way to ride at least 2 feet from the curb or people try to squeeze by you. I had a flatbed truck going roughly 40 mph miss my handlebars by roughly 3 inches one time when I was doing about 27 mph and trying to give room. It was a four lane road. He could have easily pulled into the inside lane but decided to “teach me a lesson”. He did, but not the one he expected.
One time I was in a wide shoulder area (there was a curb and sidewalk) and passing roughly 3/4 mile of standing traffic. As I got close to the intersection causing the mess, a semi turned his wheel hard to the right and pulled his truck up to where the front tire was hard against the curb, strictly to stop me. I didn’t even slow down. I hopped the curb, went past him on the sidewalk, and hopped back down and then waved goodbye (I never flip people off, I always smile and wave, no matter what they do).
Regarding the area you live, I get that near my new farm in Kentucky. But we get that with farm equipment as well, and they are a lot harder to pass. The roads there are what Seattle area bike trails aspire to be, so I know why guys like to ride there - and many of them are from out of the area. I guess being a rider myself I appreciate why they are there. It is a slower paced life as well so I don’t care that much when they slow me down out there.
I ramble, but the bottom line is that good bicycle etiquette is that when there is not a bike lane you are to ride far enough from the shoulder that cars must leave the lane, at least partially, to keep from hitting you. It eliminates the risky “close calls”.
