So I’m somewhat competitive, and I cycle to and from work everyday. My commute is roughly six miles each way, and I tend to enjoy it most of the time, at least when it’s not poring rain and freezing cold. However, lately I’ve been frustrated with a few cyclist commuters who don’t following what I like to call, “Passing Etiquette.” For sake of example, let’s assume that Biker A is the lead biker and Biker B is the biker following Biker A. The following cases outline when Bike B can and cannot pass Biker A:
Biker B can pass Biker A if:
-Biker B and Biker A are both on the open road
Biker B cannot pass Biker A if:
-Biker A is waiting at a stop light
-Biker A is kindly letting a car turn or pull out
All bikers who do not following the Passing Etiquette are subject to open road passes, tailgating, and general loss of glory. (haha)
It probably sounds like I hate when people pass me while I’m waiting on something. It definitely frustrates me, but it’s all good. I just thought it’d be funny to be formal/serious about it.
