The last bike that bike I picked up and stored in my garage awaitings it's owners return from hospital after crashing on my street, said he was doing 20mph, odd as his R1 was in 3rd gear!!.
I would not move over for a biker to let him ovetake coming towards me, why should I, I don't for cars but do for bikers who are a SENSIBLE distance behind me and want to get past, I indicate and move over when I can, the difference being they are CONSIDERATE, most 95% wave to say thanks.
It really pisses car drivers off when you some retard on a bike overtaking slowly forcimng other people to take evasive action because they do not have the intellect to change down, when they could so easily be past in a few safe seconds.
Mind you not as good as the ones who tear about with no lights on, they are hard to see especially at speed, fortunately most are sensible in this respect.
I do ride bikes myself, so not a biker hater.
