I live near a Tour de France route and single file is the way to do it, because we leave at least 1.5m by law when overtaking cyclists
You can tell the fucking insufferable English removed because they cycle two-abreast "bEcAUSe iT's SAfeR"
Mate, people will sit behind you until it's safe to overtake and leave you that 1.5m, cycling side by side makes overtaking impossible on mountain roads and makes you an UTTER removed
cycling side by side makes overtaking impossible on mountain roads
I fail to see the problem.
I explained it quite simply, do you need me to draw a picture with crayons?
We respect the cyclists by not overtaking until we can leave 1.5m of space. We expect the cyclists to respect us the same way by giving us the opportunity to leave 1.5m of space and not cycling side by side
Simple
Yeah I think you can't quite read, there are no mountain roads in the place this is talking about...
If you're on a mountain road so narrow that two cycles and a car can't go in parallel with enough space in between, then maybe wait till the road gets wider and flatter before you overtake them?
