(6) Persons riding bicycles upon a roadway may not ride more than two abreast except on paths or parts of roadways set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles. Persons riding two abreast may not impede traffic when traveling at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing and shall ride within a single lane.

Share the road, but do it responsibly on both sides, and everyone will be safer and happier.

Thank you for posting that section, CFrance
However, we must remember that the SPEED LIMIT is the absolute maximum one may travel under ideal conditions, whereas the section refers to "normal speed of traffic".
Also, the section does say "ride within a single lane" not "ride in single file". Since motorists must give a cyclist 3' of clearance, passing even a single cyclist in the same lane is inadvisable on many roads.
