Not that I really care about the Utah cycling laws, but here is what the law specifically says about staying to the right of the lane:

Quote:
Bicyclists traveling less than the normal speed of traffic must ride as near as practicable to the right-hand edge of the roadway except to: pass; make a left turn; when there is a right-turn only lane; and to avoid hazards.

I see nothing in there about yielding to upcoming traffic, regardless of their speed. Maybe its in the regular state vehicle code, but I doubt it.
