    No, I didn’t get this from that comment at all. As a bicyclist attempting to courteously share the road with others …

    – I will usually try to leave room for faster traffic to pass

    – I will take the whole lane, preventing passing, if necessary for my safety

    — I will also pull off when safe, if I find I am being an obstruction to faster traffic

    That’s all true, whether I’m cycling, driving a tractor, or there’s something wrong with my car so I’m trying to limp along to a mechanic

      I think you captured best what I was thinking. I have also driven farm machinery quite often on this road, and it just the same. In both cases I will use the lane for as long as needed, but also in both cases I will pull over to allow others to pass. It takes no longer for me but affects them much more if I don’t.
