drivers will react swiftly and in a very hostile manner to a cyclist that for whatever reason is spotted outside of the bike corridor. If said cyclist is killed or maimed because of such an encounter the punishment to the driver will be minimal.
i take the lane instead of a cycle track every morning in the usa.
You'd better HTFU and master the art of navigating...
lol! swimming the dirty river of urban traffic is my drug but i don't expect others to do the crazy @#$% that i do.
Bike paths eixist in Europe for pleasure!
