So if you want to be injured and go to court, fine. But if you riders choose better times and routes, that may be a better path for a majority, if not all cyclists.

Note that CVC 21202 says we're still subject to CVC 21656. We need to find a place to pull off if we have 5 or more cars trailing us. We also aren't restricted like most cars from driving on the shoulder so that could be a temporary place to pull off - on the shoulder. I've done this before. But maybe a lot of cyclists like to bash drivers. I happen to ride a bike and drive a car. I see it both ways. I choose to find better times and routes as a solution to avoid cars in the first place and I understand that sometimes I'll get buzzed. It's not a big deal for me and I don't go out of my way to encourage others to take over roads they are not legally allowed to obstruct. We share the roads and there are a$$holes on both sides.
