This story is from the Daily Mail. Brits call the lanes inside or outside opposite to what we do. No idea why, and it makes no sense the way they do it.
The writer should just have said that the cyclists were in the right lane.
That makes some sense - the right lane is the inside lane in England. So probably written by someone who didn’t know we drive on the right (in both senses) side in America.
“No idea why, and it makes no sense the way they do it.”
Brits drive on the left.
