very true, and I'm a cyclist. Some of them, sorry a lot of them, don't do themselves a lot of favours but there again neither do most other road users.I think you are right, in respect that it would be courteous and pragmatic for the cyclists to let you in on the downhill stretch as you have the higher average speed, and so progress of the flow of traffic would be helped if you could get past them. I have done that many a time on my bicycle. Let the slightly faster tractor in so he can get on, rather than prove I can do 1 mph more than he can downhill then hold him up up the next hill.
Courtesy, forethought and pragmatism is in pretty short supply though nowadays, so just sit back and hold up the rest of the queue while the Lycra clad knobs up front have their King of the Road moment. That's what the pedants on here would expect you to do.
