So people saying the bikes side by side are a dick move are implying that you have more right to the road because you're driving a car?

Generally speaking, to do an overtake, a car needs to leave the lane completely, so it doesn't matter whether it's one or two bikes.

Most of the streets around here were built when the idea that every house could have a car would be viewed as a fantasy.

So you've got cars parked up and down each side of the road, and if two cars want to pass each other, then you have to hope that there's space for one of you to pull over.

If you want to overtake even one bike, forget it. It's probably got some balaclava wearing kid on it, weaving none-handed up the middle of the road.
