Actually Flyin, I abhor many of the bike riders poor behaviors out there. I think in this case riding against the flow is appropriate. That way you can see the kooks coming at you and move out of the way instead of getting hit from behind. Unfortunately most riders when riding in a group of more than one like to ride side by side, jawjack, and impede the flow of traffic. I used to always hug the side of the road. That very act is long gone in todays society. Flame on...
