Well, more cyclists break the highway code that's for sure...
Roads that give cyclists priority.

Its what they deserve.
Superb!
I could play that again and again!!
Wrong. You're allowed to ride two abreast. Its surprising how many people don't know this though.
The Highway Code - Rules for cyclists (59 to 82) - Guidance - GOV.UK
Rules for cyclists, including an overview, road junctions, roundabouts and crossing the road.

She is on the wrong side of the road, nothing to do with being two abreast. Though the road vandals have turned the road into a single track.
Rule 160.
Rule 160.
Then there is no wrong side of the road. Not breaking the highway code. Plus do you really think ELC knew that you can ride two abreast?

"keep left" - is it too hard to understand?
They are, both of them. Done.
That really isn't true.
Here is reference to one of the studies that found this:
Cyclists Break Far Fewer Road Rules Than Motorists, Finds New Video Study
Busting the myth of the "scofflaw cyclist" Danish Road Directorate studies reveal that while 66% of motorists routinely break road traffic laws only 5% of cyclists do so. Law breaking by cyclists is higher where there is no cycle-specific infrastructure.

Given the number of cyslists compared to car drivers, that's statistically highly unlikely.
In reality, they do.That really isn't true.
Here is reference to one of the studies that found this:
We just ignore the times drivers break the highway code more than cyclists. Motornormatvity is a thing.Cyclists Break Far Fewer Road Rules Than Motorists, Finds New Video Study

what a ridiculous statement.
Car drivers : numberplate, subject to all road traffic penalties, driving licence subject to points, disqualification, monitored by 10s of thousands of cameras with ANPR etc
Cyclists : not so much.
If I was going to intentionally break traffic law, I know which mode of transport I'd choose
Saying it doesn't make it so.
I get why you think it, but multiple studies have shown it isn't the case.
