no, there's enough 'i never ride the shoulders' commentary in this thread I confused you with one of the internet superhero bikers, chip. and for that i apologize.

remember, however, that while travelling I-25 in the Southwest or along any other federal interstate highway cyclists are allowed use of the right of way, bicyclists ARE legally required to operate on the shoulders.

you were making false claims about not being required to operate on the shoulders of I-25, and that is incorrect. you made your claim in such a way it was a bluff.

you didn't like my advice to the OP about the use of a mirror, some high viz equipment and etc?
