Cyclists are Victims of the Law of the Jungle 4916

Scott en Aztl‡n what's

Your "explanation" is merely a claim. Your position from the bulk of your writings is contradictory to this claim.

I just read what you've written. I'll quote some to you...

well

Shouting does not prove your point; here's something to prove mine:

"Similarly, if an automobile driver were to drive down the road straddling a lane line (i.e. with half of his car in one lane and half in the other), everyone here agrees that would be improper lane usage."

OK so far...

On Wed, 9 Feb 2005 01:11:05 -0800, "Daniel W. Rouse Jr." I have no idea where you are talking about riding. I don't have anything anywhere I ride...

"Yet pedalcyclists think it's OK to straddle the lane line between the bike lane and the rightmost automobile lane because there are some 'debris' in the bike lane."

'Round these parts, the "bike lane" is not an actual, legal travel lane, so it is *perfectly legal* to ride right on the stripe. Or maybe even a little to the left of it.

IOW, you are complaining about bicyclists doing things that are completely within the law, exactly as I stated.

"In my book, any driver who pilots their vehicle such as to purposely straddle a lane line is an arrogant needle - it doesn't matter what kind of vehicle they are piloting. A car driver would get a ticket for doing it, and a pedalcyclist should get one for doing it, too."

Ooops, looks like you're caught again. But only if you're complaining about the situation outlined above. If you're commenting about a bicycle in the automobile travel lanes, straddling the dividing line, then I would agree with you. But that's not what your comments imply.

with A single bicycle or pedicab (i.e., a bicycle with a pbuttenger cart) isn't what upsets...

I'm sure if I look harder at your postings, I could find something else, oh, like complaints about cyclists riding two abreast. Again, 'round here, it's legal.

I'm not sure who it is that you're trying to fool, but I'm not buying your protestations of innocence.

More likely, you are acting as a bicycling ng MFFY counter-troll.

E.P.
