- Bikes are allowed to take the full lane. They almost never do, for obvious reasons. But they are allowed it (in the US).
Not true. Sort of.
In many states they have laws against this.
**No person shall stop or operate a vehicle at such a slow
speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when stopping or reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or to comply with law.
**Every person operating a bicycle upon a roadway shall ride as near
to the right side of the roadway as practicable obeying all traffic rules
applicable to vehicles and exercising due care when passing a standing vehicle or one proceeding in the same direction.
**Under most State laws, bicyclists are supposed to follow the rules for slow-moving vehicles, the same as farm vehicles, construction machines, antique cars and horse-buggies. Slow vehicles travel to the right IF there is safe space. Faster vehicles wait until they can pass safely
One thing I hate about cyclists , most of them, is that when you finally get by them later down the road you get stopped in traffic at a light, and that same cyclist that held you up passes all the cars on the right that they just held up only yo hold them up again. Imagine if you did that on in a car or motorcycle how choked people would be.
