Came across a bunch of those *ankers yesterday. Why oh why do they block off the whole lane

 

Our grandsons infants school had a safety visit from the fire brigade recently
One of the firemen held up a smoke detector and asked if anyone knew what it was for?
My grandson immediately put his hand up and said "it's so my mam knows when our tea's done"

 

Because they believe that the road rules don't apply to them once the lycra goes on. Rule 66 of the highway code states they should not ride more than two abreast and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads.
Rule 68 states they should not ride in a manner that is dangerous, careless or inconsiderate to other road users. But equally as annoying are the drivers who, quite rightly, follow said *ankers at a safe distance (all in favour) but fail to pass them when the opportunity arises, the most common example being in a solid white line system where it is perfectly safe, and lawful, to cross the lines in order to pass *ankers.

*rant over, fruit for breakfast*

 

If memory serves, only legal to pass crossing a solid white line if they are travelling at 10mph or less, which they won't be. I agree two abreast should be adhered to. Ps I am not a cyclist.
