A cycling type question

[Pig Skill]

My daily commute is along a twisty B road. It is also a popular choice for cyclists - not a problem; share and share alike.

What really scrapes my balls is when a group of cyclists are happly cycling along in their tight little outfits parralel to eachother creating what is sometimes a 4 deep obstacle to pass.

Am i legally wrong for thinking that they should be in single file and are almost asking for a clipping or are they allowed to travel in said formation?

Experienced this earlier when two cycling bum chums in full regalia were coming the other way on a country lane (long straight). Rather than pull in behind his mate he insisted on staying two abreast, I returned the compliment by making sure the wing mirror passed close enough to give him a draught, stubborn .

Words fail me!!!

Perhaps he hasn't phrased his post very well.

My picture is of a narrow country lane with passing places where two cars abreast would not fit, a car and a single cyclist would be ok but a car and two cyclists abreast is a bit of a squeeze.

It would appear that one of the cyclists dropping back would be win win all around ?

What did geeteeaye have to lose exactly?

A wing mirror by the sound of it
