[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I really have no problem with a cyclist who takes a whole lane, as long as there is another lane available to pass.  If there is only one lane, then the cyclist should yield to cars that want to pass by riding either on the shoulder (if safe) or as far right as possible.  Cyclists should never ride side by side, unless on a road with very light traffic, like a back country road.

And I do agree with the PP who drew a contrast between the "cyclist" in their lycra outfits vs. someone on a bike ride.  The "cyclists" are really the problem here.[/quote]

1. The rule I think in all  local jurisdictions, is that cyclists may ride two abreast.

2. I see folks in ordinary clothes doing far more dangerous things on bikes than the lycra clad do - riding in the wrong direction, riding at dusk or later without lights, and riding on sidewalks that have pedestrians, when the street is a better choice.   The lycra clad are in fact generally riding safely - just not as conveniently for you. [/quote]
