This didn't strike me as a quiet country road, more like a primary 2 lane feeder into/out of a town.
What's even scarier is that the cyclists all ride too far to the right. This just invites traffic coming from behind to squeeze through. If you have enough traffic squeezing by like that, one of them will remove your elbow.
Better to ride more in the lane, force traffic behind to slow down... and pass when the other lane is clear. If you can't do that... stay off that road!
