    I am also a motorcyclist. When we ride in a group and pass a bicyclist, the leader always gives the single file signal and we pass with plenty of room.

    However, in Colorado, bicyclists generally have a bad reputation for taking up the entire lane. I think that people forget that if you are riding downhill with very steep curves, you need the lane. Also when riding downhill, you are usually going the speed of traffic.

    I think the biggest problem is when some bicyclists ride next to each other and will not ride single file when in traffic. That is why we have many signs that tell bicyclists to ride single file. You would think that is common sense.

    I agree that there are always a few (motorcyclists and bicyclists) who are jerks.
