Re: don't share the road
pricks in cars should realise we have 100% right to the entire lane,
unless we are on a fast steep decent we never take up that much road, so the fact that they can get by us without actually having to overtake us is pretty good on bikers parts. Drivers seem to forget this. If i get an asshole who tries to run me off the road i remind him this by riding in the middle of the lane. !!!!!up yours bus drivers/cabs/truck/SUV drivers!!!!! |

As long as US laws/attitudes toward traffic "accidents" allow the driver to bullshit his way out, no progress will be made toward giving bikes their appropriate respect as vehicles. Indirectly, the best thing currently happening for cyclists in the US is the rising gasoline price. Pushing motorists to more fuel efficient (smaller) vehicles should reduce the visibility problems inherent in piloting huge SUVs and ultra-trucks and improve their drivers' attitudes. I doubt that drivers of small sedans will be as willing, on average, to imagine the sense of lane-privilege and machismo that the SUV and ultra-truck drivers do. I'm hoping gasoline will go to $6-8/gallon soon! Cal |
