Two lanes, lots of curves and 30 mph. These guys were riding side by side and when I got behind them they stayed that way. When I got next to them I yelled out the window..."How about a little single file guys". I got flipped off and I got to tell you I almost slammed on the brakes it pissed me off so much. The road is for both of us and if you keep to the side and make room for the cars then you have an argument. If you take up the road amd force them to pass you like a slow car then you deserve to be reminded of the rules. Like I said maybe she was an idiot but you were riding double and that is a no no. Next time pass a slower rider when no cars are behind you. Then they won't yell and you won't have to whine to all of us.

I'm pretty sure that Ohio law says you can ride side by side even in traffic. There was a thead on here about that, on how the law says you can't impede traffic, and that as long as you are moving at a reasonable speed, you are not impeding traffic.
