Hmm.You're "upset at cyclists who "claim a strip of pavement 5' wide when riding single file"? Road hogs?

How about - a bicycle is a vehicle entitled by law to a full lane regardless of traffic load? (Okay, except on Interstates.) Don't like that? Hmmm. Okay, how about - what do you want them to do - move over so that you can pass them on "narrow, winding roads" within THEIR lane while compromising THEIR safety just so you can move along a bit faster?

Sorry. I have no sympathy for your plight.

Proper etiquette for you is to drive slowly and quietly behind them and realize they are as entitled as you are to the road. Pass them when it's safe to do so - period.

Double file and weaving riders? I won't argue with you about those guys. They have legal and safety issues of their own to deal with. Personally, I'd find another route if that's a common occurence on roads you routinely drive on - nothing worse than having to drive by accidents/blood/mangled bikes and downed riders you might actually know.

(None of that was tongue in cheek.)
