Funny. I did one of Jim's lift-a-bike-to-the-left moves just this
morning! I thought after such a dramatic display of accommodation, I'd
get a little wave or something from the motorist. Nope. That's
alright. Better than having someone seething behind me.

This sounds like an excellent policy, but seriously, how do you do it?
If someone honks at you and you are both sitting there, how do you
manage not to turn around and say a few choice words? I d
If I were a Riv Chico in this scenario, I would be farther into the road so
that lady would have to pass to the right of me to turn.
If I were that guy in the scenario, I'd be right next to you, center or
left of center. It seems weird to hang behind another cyclist.
If I were the lady in the car
Sorry I missed that detail. I've got a dedicated right turn lane on my
commute home, so I deal with this particular maneuver daily.

In that case, I would move left if possible. If not-- what would that
driver do if a car were ahead of her, waiting for the light? She
would wait for the light. And that's what she should do if the
cyclists can't safely allow her to pass on their right. And she should
shut up.

To clarify: There were two west-bound lanes, and the right-most lane
was/is not a dedicated turn lane, so the bikes were not doing a n
Now that I think about why this hasnt happened to me, we dont have any
right turn on red here in NYC so really not an issue. Of course when I am
going straight and see the guy next to me is turning I will eithe cheat up
past his bumper so I can clear the intersection before he turns or hang

This hasn't worked so well for me here in Port
I'm similar to Jim
Technically, isn't it flat-out illegal to occupy a dedicated right turn
lane with your vehicle and then go straight? From the original description
it sounded like both the bikes were in a right turn lane and neither one of
them actually turned right. I think that's a no-no.
Mmmm... based on what you related, I'd have to fault the grumpy cyclist.
Since we can turn right on red lights (generally) here in CA, any time I'm
stuck at a stop light, I'll attempt to favor the left side of the lane
(assuming I'm in the rightmost lane). It's just seemed to be the

Like Patrick, I will always pull as far to the left as I safely can and, if
I hear a vehicle come up from behind, will make eye contact and motion
they're free to make a right. When the light changes, I get through as
quickly as possible and move rightward.
Cheers!

To be clear, I would move forward and to the left.
Moving right would be dangerous.

I'd move over if I reasonably could.
If she was obnoxious about it I wouldn't hear her. My ears are funny
that way.

I'd move over if I reasonably could.
If he was obnoxious about it I wouldn't hear him. My ears are funny
