How much experience do you have on single lane country roads behind cyclists? I think you'll find most want to get the raging loon off their back as soon as possible.

Many cyclists will exceed 20mph unless they're riding into a headwind/uphill.Tractors are faster than cyclists in general
Most tractors can sustain 20mph some 30
Also far fewer tractors on road than cyclists
Looking forward to seeing this dashcam clip. An hour with a cyclist every 1 - 1.5 miles? Were you driving the RideLondon sportive?a bit silly when you've got an hour journey but encounter a cyclist every 1 to 1.5 miles
