Road use of two lanes or multi lane

Rather than use spacious cycle lane, but main road instead, to avoid hazard in cycle lane and pedestrian almost have no responsibility to be alert. Does it mean you cycle fast without giving mercy to pedestrian, although the cycle lane is absolute on cyclist favour.
Does Main road mean that you would to overtake a whole group of cyclist on the cycle lane?
Which side of lane is advisable to use? Left or Right? What happen if right lane is moving as same as cycling on the left side with empty space? Are you eligible to take left lane (since the lane is not wide enough) and one car is behind is waiting. There is only two lane. Sometimes, cycle 25mph and moving in similar speed on the right side lane, but one car wants to undertake a group of car.
Please verify if cyclist should allowed, otherwise, by the next time i use a car, I probably horn and close overtake since the left lane is empty and narrow, and most cyclist have other option to use cycle lane to ride fast enough but too much hazard to consider. Because they are making their own rule, so other people follow their rule and walk over each other.

What country, different laws in different countries but in most cases use of the cycle lane is voluntary. Many cycle lanes all over the world aren'r designed for cycling at speed but for the circa 6-8mph 'pootlers', if you are cycling at any speed (15mph upwards) they are often a liability and less safe than riding on the road, which is why there use is voluntary. If a cyclist is on the road they should cycle close to the left side (but not in the gutter itself which is has it's own danger) but can 'take the lane' by taking a position further out if they feel it is appropriate, such as approaching a pinch point.
Being a complete dick and doing a close overtake as a punishment and risking death or serious injury would just show you have no regard for them as human beings at all. It's also contrary to the highway code in the UK and you risk police action for driving without due care and attention, or being D-locked by a pi55ed off cyclist.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
Also remember that even if it is an offence where you are, it probably isn't deserving of the death penalty which you risk imposing by doing a deliberately dangerous overtake.0

if i blocking one lane, since it is too narrow, and right lane is most car driving at some speed.
why there is car wants to squeeze in? what should you do in this situation? continue riding 1 metre from edge or ride up close to the edge where car squeeze and overtake. Because they horning and wants to drive fast on empty lane.0 -
What country are you in?
If it is unsafe for a car to pass I move out so that he can't try and squeeze past dangerously.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
UK, does it mean legally you have to let one motorist be very impatient on one empty lane, compared to right lane with some cars? The empty lane is on the left, but going to the right might be risky since it is taking a whole lane is required. Then you need to cycle 25mph, but some cars ahead, makes it 20mph or less.The Rookie wrote:What country are you in?

Is there some scam that is improved by having a higher post count?0

" legally you have to let one motorist be very impatient on one empty lane" no legally you don't have to let a motorist be impatient (if that's at all possible), but yes legally you can ride in such a way that a motorist may become impatient as long as its for a reason, otherwise it would be without consideration for other road users.
You don't have to ride at any speed, its the duty of a motorist behind you to pass you in a safe manner when possible.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
