It looks like the NJ supreme court is dismissive of bicyclists, but the ruling was about riding on the shoulder of the road.

shoulders are not maintained for bicycle travel. none of the roads have to be, but shoulders particularly so.


Yeah, it would suck to be a bicyclist in NJ with stated court opinion that roads are not maintained for bikes and especially not the shoulders.

This type of opinion echoes autocentricity all the way.

I think Iowa has the same general opinion about bikes and public roads, unfortunately, and suspect several other states do as well. only bicycle routes and bicycle lanes are where bikes can expect bike friendly pavement,

all other places, rider beware. limited recourse in the event of a crash from a pavement defect.

RIP rider.
