    I won’t lie, I’m split on this one. If I’m in a city and the speed limit is 25 and they are going 15, I’m patient behind them. The next traffic light is going to slow me down more than a pair of bikes. If I’m somewhere rural, the speed limit is over 50, and im on a road that sees about 10 cars an hour, yes you have the right of way, but it feels really inconsiderate not to move over for a couple seconds to let someone pass.

      If there’s only ten cars per hour you should have plenty of options to pass them …

        A significant portion of “10 cars per hour” roads look like this:

        Attempting to pass by a pair of cyclists abreast is likely not possible to do in a safe manner on such a road.

          a) that road definitely is not with a speed limit over 50 and b) you cannot pass even a single bike here in a safe manner, in Germany for example it would be a misdemeanor to even try.
