I don't know what the riding rules are in their country, but I see them ride on both sides of the street so they probably choose the side of the street most convenient to them or whichever they think is safer. I used to go into the traffic whenever we passed, but now I play chicken with them, thus forcing them into the oncoming traffic. Now, some of them even recognize me and just stop and wait til I pass them or they go on the sidewalk.
