no, cyclists should not stick to the left because morons like you open their doors and kill them. You should have waited behind both riders until the traffic light as your van is very slow and a bike is faster than you. Perhaps you could post a video of you riding a bike on the doorzone and how well you are after ploughing straight into a stationary object at 20 mph?
It may look like a good place to stop but at this time of year farmers need access to the fields, sometimes urgently. If you park like this then it just might not be where you left it when you return.
Dozy cow. When you're driving up Ashton Rd & you're going straight on or on the A6 towards Preston then you're supposed to be in the right lane.
Not the left lane like you were & then you skip lanes. Left is to go in to town.
