You are, in fact, supposed to share the lane for the most part.
Sharing the lane does not mean sharing the same part of the lane.
Unless you can sustain 25mph. Can you? Thought not.
Yes.
No one is forcing you to vehicular cycle.
I greatly enjoy riding in traffic. I find it soothing.
Most normal people do not ride bicycles in traffic.
I've never been a fan of "normality".
If you are going to get out their and mix it up with the big iron, however, you better get comfortable being passed at close quarters at regular intervals.
This is why I often ride on the left side of the lane. Sharing means passing me in the neighboring lane.
Or go ahead, hog the lane, no one will kill you for doing so
Sharing is hogging!
see another cyclist run a red signal...how red light runners are not being good ambassadors
The more that motorists are afraid of hitting a cyclist, the safer it is for all of us.
