Roads exist to allow everyone to get where they need to go, not to exercise everyone's "rights" to use the road in some manner that is not about transportation. If the law says no abreast riding, it is so the inevitable passing will happen with minimal impact.

Bicycles have as much right to use the road as cars or motorcycles, but bicycles are not cars or motorcycles and don't get to pretend they are. We have our own set of restrictions AND privileges not afforded to motor vehicles.
