And stop riding in the middle of the road at rush hour holding traffic to 15 MPH when it would go 40 MPH - and when there is a perfectly good bicycle path - right next to the road - fer chrissakes.

"And stop riding in the middle of the road at rush hour holding traffic to 15 MPH when it would go 40 MPH - and when there is a perfectly good bicycle path - right next to the road - fer chrissakes." 1. It is not safe... or legal.. for cars so "slide by" missing cyclists by inches. However, if we ride over by that line then that is exactly what motorists do. We get killed that way. Strangely enough, we are safer being hated. 2. The bike paths here are used by cyclists... but they go nowhere, end abruptly in unsafe spots, are strewn with debris and have trees and mailboxes hanging into traffic. Fer sakes.
