Bikes! 2220Jim Yanik Well, you are badly mistaken. The width of the spectrum of cyclists far exceeds that of motorists. As lax as driving standards are in the US you still at least have to...
It surprises me not that California would allow these things. This is probably why many bicyclists and motorcyclists feel that it is allowed elsewhere. I have never considered that the acceptability of a particular action in California consbreastutes a rational basis for the conductance of that same activity elsewhere. by "splitting", I presume you mean driving down the narrow space between two lanes of cars. I don't think splitting should be allowed at all. Bicycles running along the right-hand margin are at least not quite as hazardous as those "splitting". I think that motorcycles should follow the same rules as other motor vehicles.
That is exactly what I do do. And, my earlier comments were not referencing extra wide lanes designed for such usage. Some towns and cities in this area have demarked "bike lanes", and the policy seems to work well when the respective vehicles stay in their seperate areas. Which is the whole point.
A simpleton can "know how". The problem extant is that the preponderance of bicyclists don't do it, even when they know how.
Gas: The good 'ol days 2221Well, we need to realize that fossil fuels are used (HEAVILY) in the production of food. If the thought of $10-gallon gasoline...
No, no. I'm not suggesting a question of degree. They simply don't stop for a red or sign, unless there is a stream of crossing traffic that forces compliance.
