Left! Unless they are on the left, in which case I bunny hop them.0

thats a good question, i always assumed the folk coming down a hill should get out of the way of those going up as the climbers are working harder,
as for on the flat, i reckon the biggest bloke gets right of way, or the best bike gets right of way, 8)0 -

That'll be me then. Gerroutmeway. Or get ridden over.
I'm kidding, I'm nice really. Always nod and "orlr8" bikers passing the opposite way...they always tend to look terrified.I am considerably more rock and roll than you.
Road. Mountain. Up hill and down dale...0 -
I pass roadies on the right when I overtake them. My favourite passtime on an MTB!0

There is no satisfaction than passing a roadie on a MTB. Well there is, but it's pretty good! Thanks for remiding me - next road ride I'll be in search of roadies to overtake, even if I do have to turn off to hide & rest!0

Ha, that is what I do! Trackstand at the lights, rip away from them, bust a gut, hop into the woods at the side of the road, collapse...0

I'm so glad it's not just me! Though I seem to be the only one who does it around here..
Except when it's all over, I collapse and have an asthma attack all at once.. Tis worth it though!0
