| Will, do you honestly beleive that cyclists that ride side by side, do so because they are thinking of the poor drivers stuck behind them, so they are giving them a shorter distance needed to overtake them ? Are you sure they just don't do it so that they can chat to each other ? Two weeks ago after going over Hammersmith bridge, I followed two Lycra clad cyclists down Castlenau in Barnes for it's entire length.One was in the centre of the Carriageway, the other was virtually riding on the white line in the middle of the road.They were deliberately holding back the traffic.It didn't concern me as I was pulling into a car dealership, but the car behind me tried to pass them when I stopped, and they just would not let him past.I watched them go down the road, and the car managed to get past them at a crossroads.As the car went by them the driver sounded his horn.The csr then stopped at the traffic lights.Both cyclists went through the red lights and as they past the car waiting in traffic, one cyclist went either side of the car and kicked the doors as they rode by.They both then rode off at speed knowing the driver would not be able to identify them.
