But the drivers did see this cyclist, did move out to pass and there is no report of blaring horns or close passes, so sounds like the driving was mostly pretty good.
Left of the white line is off the carriageway and simply asking for close passes. If you don't know the road, then you don't know that the verge is going to be cycleable, even if you wanted to use it. Much safer on the road where you belong. Calling the cyclist a 'tool' says more about your lack of judgement than anything.
Completely agree.
Left of the white line (if it was solid) isn't actually cycling on the carriageway. It's so that cars don't cut up the side of the road.
For all we know the cyclist could have been lost, could have been on a charity LEJOG or whatever.
I wouldn't choose to cycle on such roads, but it sounds like he was in the right place - got cars to avoid him.
