Sigh. I've seen this around here, too. I work & ride in Concord, and I see tons of other cyclists around. Most of them are fine. But then I do see the occasional club riders riding up Monument & Lowell 2 or 3 abreast, knowing that you're right behind them (in your car), waiting to pass, and it really pisses me off. It's rude and dangerous. My non-cycling friend up on Westford Rd. regularly gripes to me about the "d*** cyclists" around here, and I have to agree the the 2-abreast ones are jerks, but I must point out that the problem ones are the minority, and not to hate us all. I hope my words (and the fact that I'm her friend) can ameliorate her general feeling about cyclists. One bad cyclist can paint us all in a bad light. I don't permit people I'm riding with to ride 2-abreast.
