So, if one bicyclist on the MMP slides to the left, they are telling you it's unsafe to pass regardless of how fast you can accelerate and swerve past a pack...wait until there is a good long straightaway...patience, grasshopper!

Again, I disagree. What makes the cyclist the sole judge of "when it is safe to pass"?
What makes the cyclists' judgement better??? My judgement is better than 99% of the drivers out there, so I feel absolutely no obligation to take "orders" from a random cyclist. THEY do not get to direct traffic. IF, again IF I decide to pass, it is only if I can give the cyclist at least 3 feet, and get back on my side of the MMP before any oncoming traffic approaches, and never in the single lane divided areas. IF, and again IF, a cyclist decides to move left as I am
safely passing, that is on him. If you read one of the earlier posts in this thread, someone was stuck behind a cyclist for 2 miles. That is unacceptable, there is no way that the opportunity to pass did not arise in that span, yet the cyclist continually blocked the MMP (IF that post was truthful)
