Only 2 mate as per the highway code. Don't use the cycle lanes though as they are a bit narrow so stick to the main carriageway.Go on, 5 abreast is it?
Yeah dont blame you mate, them cycle lanes are always full of cyclists anyway, much better to use the roads, loads more room to swerve about and have a nice chat ;-)Only 2 mate as per the highway code. Don't use the cycle lanes though as they are a bit narrow so stick to the main carriageway.

Tbh I normally stay 30cm-1m from the kerb on my own unless passing parked cars. Riding two abreast is easier in some respects - you just occupy the same space in the lane as an average sized car. I feel safer like that too as we are so visible. It seems to work as we certainly get many friendly horn toots as drivers pass us.Yeah dont blame you mate, them cycle lanes are always full of cyclists anyway, much better to use the roads, loads more room to swerve about and have a nice chat ;-)

I'm a very courteous driver, I was in Notts a few years ago and I spotted a disability scooter and driver waiting to cross the road in the distance. I slowed right down flashing my lights for him/her to cross, got closer and closer, still not taking my invitation. Got right up to the vehicle and it was indeed a scooter with a dummy on it advertising the disability shop adjacent, the prick who owned the shop must have put his promo on the kerb side for a laugh, can't imagine I was the only one to fall for it.
