...cyclists may ride two up only if they are not impeding traffic. Three statesMassachusetts, New York and Virginiaspecifically require cyclists to roll single file when being overtaken by a passing vehicle.
Makes my point. Bikeists are for the most part irresponsible and act like the roads are for bikes with autos being the trespassers. They ride two, three even four abreast and dare autos to pass. The only bikeists for whom I have even the slightest respect are the ones who ride single file at the side of the road and yield the right of way to autos.
No ... cyclists for the most part obey the laws. Yes, there are some that don’t and they give the rest of us a bad name. But for the most part ...at least around my neck of the woods ... we obey the traffic laws.
