I'm not sure where you get that idea from. In both instances it is against the law to ride side by side with another rider on the road. I clearly stated, "In other words, you can only be abreast if you are in the act of passing the other bicycle." That is the
only time it is legal to be side by side with another bicycle and it can only happen for as long as it take to pass the other bicycle.
Keep in mind that illegality does not mean enforcement. A LEO would still have to take the time to pull the cyclists over and write them a ticket.
