The reason cyclists ride in the middle of the lane is to force the car to wait until there's room to pass. It's for their protection.
If they ride on the line and a car overtakes them while a car passes from the other direction the cyclist will get squeezed off the road.
Top lane the white vehicle must wait until it's safe to pass. Bottom lane they are simply squeezing the cyclist against the side of the road which is fricking dangerous:
Riding 2 or 3 abreast instead of a long line means the cyclists take up less room (vertically) on the road, allowing you to pass them quicker.
Down vote away.

nothing says I'm all about safety like riding a 10 lb bike going 15-20 mph down a road where you know vehicles that weigh 1000+ lbs going 45+ mph mere feet away. quote:

No. What's dangerous is riding a toy down a road occupied by vehicles that weigh exponentially more, who travel at a much higher rate and expect the world to revolve around your slow arse.
