It's all been said before, anything which delays motorised traffic for a nano second is obviously thoughtless, crazy and not allowed - we can't win whatever we do.
We don't need to adopt either of the extremes. It is surely just a matter of exercising a bit of discretion, singling out when it can help someone else without any cost to you, but staying two abreast when it makes more sense.
Well said. It's not about not holding up the motorized traffic it's about being considerate.
If it's no big deal whether you ride single file or 2 abreast then knowing when each group riding style is best costs the cyclists nothing and it's simply being considerate road users to think about others.
I bet you would like all motorized traffic to be considerate to you when on your bike. It does go the other way too. I'd prefer to lead by example and do the best option for all.
BTW what is the best option in the OP's situation?
