I was being slightly tongue in cheek but since you didn't notice and don't understand how racing works I'll explain. The "racing line" is a very narrow line that offers the fastest way round a motor racing circuit. If you stray from this too far then you will lose time and won't win, racers can manage this at 200mph. So they don't use the whole road, if they did you have lost.
The dickhead on a bicycle did have traffic coming the other way as he was riding on the wrong side of the road. He turned right out of a side junction straight in front of the white transit I was driving. Why would one do this? I gave home room and he then swapped to road for the footpath. Do a pair of Tena knickers make you invincible?
There are dicks in cars too but percentage wise it's much smaller.
