And I would point out that the people advocating strict observance are statistically VERY unlikely to exhibit the behavior they expect from others. Thus it seems quite hypocritical and more an attempt to score points than come to any sort of understandingThat brings me to this point. The ardent cyclist faction insists that cyclists should be allowed to break some traffic laws that are inconvenient for bicycles.
Plus, on most of my bikes I can do a track stand. Would the strict constructionists believe I had stopped if I didn't put my feet down? I think the facts of the situation would not matter that much because they just want something to ***** about
What I really would like to see is someone post frame grabs from their onboard cameras, with time and date stamps, of the 'many' times that packs of bicyclists prevent them from using their roads in a week. For such a 'common' problem, it should be easy, yes?
