I agree. My closest town is 10 km. downhill from my house. Even though I am a cyclist and support cycling rights, I’d probably be shouting obscenities at a rider who ‘took the full lane while descending’ that whole way. You’ve got to be as considerate to the drivers as you expect them to be to you.
