Hi,
In the event I had to "take the lane" because of a narrow bridge, for example, I looked for the next safe chance to move to the right and let faster traffic through. None of this seems complicated unless we want it to be.
RVrs are like any other group of people, lot's of differing opinions but as a general rule most are respectful from what I have seen. Bike riders are the same. I think if all bike riders moved over when they had an opportunity as you suggest above, it would foster improved relations. I work in a city that has one of the highest concentration of bike riders in the nation, and when I am at work I bike into and around town. I have also toured through multiple countries on my bike. Unfortunately, a lot of riders take a very cavalier approach to their "right" to take the entire road and don't budge when they have an opportunity. In my community we have had several fatalities on the country roads, some the fault of vehicles, some the fault of bikers, for example blowing a stop sign. My wife will not let me bike to work, which is about a 9 mile ride. Be careful out there.
