>>1052529I live in the Netherlands, and I have the luxury of having separate cycling paths on most roads, but often there are small parts where I have to join the car road. I always stick fully to the right edge, because why the fuck not? My bike is barely half a meter wide and cars can pass me without any issue while staying on their track. This whole "bicyclists can use the road" culture disgusts me, and only gives a bad name to cyclist. Dont ride in the middle of the fucking road when you can also ride on the edge of it. You are causing frustrations.
When there is traffic behind you, you make damn sure to be sticking to the side of the road and make yourself narrow to let them past. Thats how I always rode and I think thats how everybody here rides. Thats probably also why deathcage drivers respect cyclists here.
