Shes had some miles put on her now, really enjoying it but some upgrades are due for sure.

Bit of help needed again.

I caught up with four Warwick Uni team kit wankers this morning and was about to go past them. The guy at the front turned, saw me and then got them to change from single file into pairs. I ended up having to overtake on the wrong side of the road, but just as I was about to go for it the guy at the back turned and pointed down to his left towards the curb.

What did he mean? For me to go behind him or that he was going to move out the way to there?
Did the guy at the front make them go into pairs to be a knob or is that an actual thing to do?

Kinchy:
Never heard of that, from what your saying it sounds like he was either being a prick or it was unrelated to you passing.

Finn the Human:
Pointing a right hand behind the back to the left means there's a hazard like a parked car. Pretty good chance he was on a training ride but was pissed off you were going to over take. Riding two abreast is the norm most of the time unless the roads narrow or there's lots of traffic. Sounds like he was being a dick regardless so next time just put on your best grin and say hello when you blast past.

I'll generally approach other riders with some caution so I can figure out what they're likely to do. When I pass its with a nod or a wave and a hello.

According to that there might have been a drain cover or something he was tring to warn you about. Fuck em though, if you were passing on the right then there's no need for him to be pointing stuff out on the left,  he was probably being a prick and trying to wave you back.

Next time just hang back for a mile so that you can burn em whilst giving the middle finger salute. No one wants to be caught in a game of leap frog, that's the worst.
