Ah but...was the inner one on a cycle lane or on the extended verge of the road which many assume to be a cycle lane but isn't?
Either way two abreast is perfectly legal.
Here you go rf3, I did not question the legality, which incidentally has little influence on whether it is a sensible, considerate, or safe(st) thing to do.
A bit like using the argument of only holding traffic up for 'a few seconds' is irrelevant and no justification for being inconsiderate and selfish. It may, however, be a window in to the mind of the cyclist and why some are intentionally inconsiderate? Stuff 'em, they can just wait a few seconds?
