I guess every community is different. I pretty much ride where the other riders are. cars have to cross the double yellow to pass as it is (water pistols or not) and that rd has some twists and dips. it also has riders going both directions so if we took the lane or rode further into the lane in both directions we'd have headon collisions all over the place and we wouldn't be too popular :-) what are the rds like in TN?
