in my state, where drivers are required by law to give cyclists 4 feet when passing (but few do), but are allowed to cross the double yellow in the process (something most drivers appear to be unaware of), riding two abreast
is a safety maneuver. It forces drivers to do the right thing and go around you, rather than attempt to shave past you, which is what frequently happen to lone- or single file riders
