And bikes are road users; it is the law in the highway code. Car drivers that do not like that probably do not like mopeds and Sunday drivers either. I hear you on two abreast yes that is wrong, they need to give way, most do but a few bad eggs make it worse for others, judge them on their behaviours not everyone?
Its the ignorant ones that give all cyclists a bad name they may be allowed to ride two a breast according to the highway code but common sense should be used when its dangerous.
I am a bit of a lard arse and i have a bike i wear tracky bottoms and a T shirt i wouldn't go out looking like this if you paid me.
