The rule
Nevada permits cyclists to ride two abreast on the roadway. Two abreast permitted on the roadway when not impeding the normal and reasonable movement of traffic; single file required when overtaken on roadways too narrow to share. See Nev. Rev. Stat. § 484B.773 (Riding on roadways and shoulders).
Statute
What this means in practice
Group rides in Nevada can ride two abreast on most roads. Keep an eye on traffic behind — if a faster vehicle can't safely pass, single up.
Bigger roads, longer rides
Size a road bike for shoulders, group rides, and rural highways
Highway-access and group-riding rules favour riders who can hold a straight line at speed. Start with a frame that fits.
