On turns, yes. But riding in the left track is going a little far on the 'taking the lane thing'
Riding in the left side of the lane may tempt a motorist to right to the right of you. Most motorists think we're nuts and wouldn't even consider riding a bicycle on a roadway. So they have no idea about what is dangerous and what is not. When "taking the lane" dead in the middle. When riding right ... leave at least 3 feet to right so you have some wobble room if a car get a little too close.
On an unrelated sidenote: There's something funky going on with your posts. When I try to do a 'Reply with quote', I get sent to an error message page with this error message
I'm experiencing it also. The workaraound is [Go to advanced mode].
It only happens on your posts. Is there something going on with your moderator status?[/QUOTE]
