What? Does Europe only have single lane roads? Funny, with only a few exceptions, most places I've been to in Europe have lanes that are about as wide as American roads, i.e. about a 3.5m lane (11 feet for the metrically challenged). Bicyclists tend to ride on the outside of the lane as well. That puts on oncoming cyclist about 7m (22+ feet) away from you. You'd kind of have to shout obscenities (yes, your word is an obscenity that violates Forum rules) at other cyclists.

It's okay because the locals probably just consider you to be an inconsiderate...and possibly crazy...Yank.
