Wait till you see what some drivers do. Some of them are unlikely to be getting hugs from me (and hundreds of bereaved families probably aren't too keen on them).Cowsham wrote: ↑3 Nov 2022, 8:10pm
On the other hand as a car driver I have seen two cyclists riding two abreast having a good old natter while wobbling out over the white line deliberately holding up traffic, even looking back and scoffing at the drivers. I just sat behind like a good boy waiting cos I know they are entitled to do that now. Other drivers behind me were getting very frustrated. After about two miles of this the wobbling wads of Lycra turned left at the next junction. I thought that behaviour doesn't endear cyclists to other road users.
And by-the-way:
When did any laws change on this? Can you please refer me to a past law/regulation preventing cyclists from riding 2-abreast (with or without natter?)I have seen two cyclists riding two abreast having a good old natter...
cos I know they are entitled to do that now
Thanks.

Can't believe they haven't got that shytester yet. Surely someone will know who that is?
