It is rare indeed not to be thanked if you move over to let one pass; there doesn't seem to be the aggression so often witnessed elsewhere.
The same is true of cyclists who are given a much wider berth than I have witnessed elsewhere (notably in the UK).
It seems there is a camaradarie rather than antagonism.
Yup, pyrenees and alps are the only places bikers have ever cooperated with me overtaking them
I think it helps that the roads are generally quieter. In the caterham many bikers seemed to see you as one of them.
