I do this. I've got a mirror on my bike, I know what's coming up behind me, and I let cars pass when I can. I also pull over when driving on 2-lane roads if there's a string of cars behind me.
- LtWorf 4y agoMost cyclists in non-urban roads I met in italy will just cycle in pair and keep 20 cars behind them going at 20km/h while chatting with each other.
- downvotetruth 4y ago"Motor"cyclists pull the same trick & violate the slower traffic keep to the side rule, which seems to make "lanes" redundant.
- analog31 4y agoIndeed, I don't ride my bike on multi-lane roads if I can avoid them, so I'm only talking about roads where my choices are riding in the traffic lane or ducking into the parking lane. In my locale it's pretty easy to get around on neighborhood streets and bike paths, so I'm actually rarely sharing the road with a lot of car traffic.
- amrocha 4y agoGood. Slow down cars and maybe they'll stop killing thousands of people every year.
- LtWorf 4y agoIt's explicitly illegal to drive like that.
