So on the way to work I lanesplit along a long clogged stretch of road, one lane each way. I pass the cars on the right between the cars and the centerline. There a a couple of other bikers who follow the same route around the same time I do, and two of them always split on the left (actually in the service lane off the road).
At a point nearing a roundabout I switch from centreline to left side to then immediately split between the two lanes of cars that form at the roundabout.
A couple of times I have had 'awkward moments' where the person in the service lane has come up from behind as im moving from centreline to left side of the lane . Not a near miss, but if both of us werent careful , easily could be.
Lanesplitting is overtaking within a lane, and we must overtake on the right always, correct? So are these guys splitting on the left in a single lane road in the wrong? Or is it inconsiderate? What do you guys do?
