Behavioural Question
Hi folks,
Quick question. If you have a fellow rider in front of you and he moves to the very left of the lane on a straight road, is that an invitation to close up and ride a couple of miles together? If so, would you stay staggered or ride parallel? I'm usually fine with either, especially on these wide and straight roads. Its just a nice feeling to share a ride together. Thanks, Alex |
I don't ride next to anyone if I don't know their skills. takes one bad line and both you you are sliding
|
Not for me. I usually ride in the left portion of the lane for various reasons but not to invite someone to ride next to me. I don't know you or your riding style, or whoever is behind me, and I don't want you to interfere with my riding style.

NO, that is not an invitation to ride with a stranger!

This again?
No, he is entitled to the entire width of his lane. |

IMO no that is not what that means. It may mean that he is inviting you to pass him or maybe that is just where he wants to position himself in the lane. |
If somebody happens to get behind me while riding solo, I have no problem with them falling into a staggered position behind me until one of us speeds up or turns off. I do have an issue with random people trying to share a lane with me.
Falling in behind a group, especially a club in colors, is a different story. |
