Had it yesterday, two lycra clad overweight to55ers, riding along side by side for about a mile in a narrow road,
I'm amazed they are still alive, you could see they were deliberately doing it , to make a "stand for cyclists".. :rant:
I doubt very much it was to antagonise, more likely, they were trying to ensure that some impatient car or van driver actually gave them enough room when passing. There's no reason why cyclists and motorists can't cohabitate, but clearly a lot of small minded attitudes need to change first... on all sides as some cyclists have an equal disregard for motorists.
