It is more ludicrous, for an advocate of cyclists, to agree with Beck's verbose ideological advocacy that, on typical two-lane roads, cyclists ride where motorists want them, with their lateral position an open invitation to motorists to overtake by squeezing through the narrow gap between the cyclist and the opposite-direction traffic in the adjacent lane. Certainly this appeases the popular dislike of bicycle traffic, which Beck has admitted to be his motive, but at increased danger to both motorists and cyclists, besides being an abject surrender of cyclists' legal rights.
