    As a cyclist, two people cycling side by side while other vehicles are waiting to pass is a bit of a dick move tbh.

    Not illegal, and nothing compared to the shit that drivers do to cyclists, but still a bit of a dick move.

      I disagree since overtaking a cyclist in the same lane is unsafe anyway. In the city I always cycle in the middle of the lane because it prevents unsafe takeovers and dooring.

    So people saying the bikes side by side are a dick move are implying that you have more right to the road because you’re driving a car?

    Generally speaking, to do an overtake, a car needs to leave the lane completely, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s one or two bikes.

      You are assuming drivers respect the safety distance from a lone biker…
