Please don't fall for the falsehood that riding vehicularly means never using bike lanes or bike paths, or being against them.
What it really means is following the rules of the road and using the proper lane for the proper job.
In my book it also means using courtesy, common sense, visible clothing, appropriate lighting and maintaining positive communications with motorists. It also means above all else, enjoying the ride and never forgetting how much better it is to get where you are going without frustration.
