If you're referring to multiple lanes for same direction traffic, then some of them are. Others only had a single lane for same direction traffic divided by a center line.
In both cases, traffic would move into the next lane (whether for same or opposite direction traffic) to overtake me or they would slow to my speed and wait for an opportunity to pass. In the latter case, if there wasn't a safe opportunity for overtaking coming up for a bit, I would release the lane by either pulling off the road and letting same direction traffic by, or if there was more space, move a little further towards the edge and let the motorist past me (re-taking the lane afterward). But on roads where there are multiple lanes for same direction traffic, I would hold my position and they would eventually change lanes to pass.
- ljf 6y agoI'm pleased you live in a country that is safe for cyclists with respectful drivers. I don't feel it is that way in the UK ;) - most people aren't terrible, but most don't consider cyclists to have the same rights to the road
- u801e 6y agoI'm not saying that I haven't been harrassed, but something like that might happen once every couple of years. In contrast, when I used to ride closer to the edge of the road/lane, I frequently experienced close overtakes.
