felykiosa @sh.itjust.works Love cycling but to be fair that s a little annoying when you have 2 cyclists side by side and you can't overtake them. The driver was an asshole but i can understand his frustration.

1.5m to overtake one cyclist brings you only partially onto the otherside of the road.
1.5m to overtake two cyclists astride brings you fully onto the otherside of the road

Okay, so walk me through this. This is what I got.
Guy: You have to wait just as long to pass one cyclist as two abreast.
You: I only take up half a lane to pass a lone cyclist.
Me: So you have to wait until the lane is clear.
You: No, I am a good driver.
Me: WTF?!

ProgrammingSocks @pawb.social Sounds like you should talk to your representatives about getting protected bicycle paths in your city so that they're out of your way
