The reason cyclist overtake on the inside is because they are not comfortable using the whole of the road. This is with good reason. Take up the whole lane and the drivers start beeping their horns going all harry & billy. Pushed into the gutter is it any wonder people overtake on the inside? Although completely illegal it is actually safer at many junctions to ride on the opposite side of the road. I am getting fed up of reading about people being killed and miamed because they choose to ride a bike and I am also sick of all the indignant misdirected outrage against cyclists!
