Bicyclists should not be on the freeway.

Bicyclists should certainly not be on the inside (fast) lane of the freeway. In fact, one should be prepared to maintain a speed of at least 80 mph in the fast lane of a DFW freeway.

And finally, I can’t think of any Freeways around DFW airport that only have two lanes each direction. 183 has 4 lanes each direction. 360 has 4. 121 after 360 splits only has 3 each way. 114 has 8 one way, 7 the other. Other side of the airport, it’s 6 and 5 lanes. LBJ is 3 and 3. Sam Rayburn and Bush are 3 and 3. 35E is 3 and 3 with a couple of pay lanes down the middle.

And most of those have frontage roads.

This story is from the Daily Mail. Brits call the lanes inside or outside opposite to what we do. No idea why, and it makes no sense the way they do it.

The writer should just have said that the cyclists were in the right lane.

“right lane of Airfield Drive near Freeport Parkway”

Divided highway. Almost no shoulder?

One report says bicyclist clubs frequent this area. Seems insane.

“360 has 4.”

2.
