wow. can't find a busy street with wide outside lanes in or around the greater beltway. Must be nice to ride where you do.

Maybe you're always riding precisely 2 feet behind motorists in orderly nonpartisan processions, and aren't familiar with speed leapfrogging and slow overtaking in busy WOLs.

Invusiblehand, why don't you explain what makes biking positioned to the right of traffic that might turn right vehicular first. Turning or potentially turning traffic should never be to the inside of thru traffic, being positioned to the right of traffic that might turn right is a violation of general vehicular rules.

ideally, motorists would never pull abreast of bicyclists and right hook them in a wide lane. the onus on safe passing is always on the overtaker, eh? that's why VC can curbhug narrow lanes and not violate rules of the road.....


perhaps you think this is just 'entertainment', invisiblehand, but illustrating the contradictions in VC is part of what I engage in in this subforum. I think its valuable to dismantle the vc platform.

If there's no issue with being to the right of potentially right turning traffic, bike lanes should also not be an issue. If vc has no issue being positioned hookable in a wol, then riding hookable in a bike lane should also cease to be an issue.
