HERE again ^^^^^ My favorite LAB schmuck riding in the left tire track / Lane HOG comeuppance video. LOL Hillarious WHUP You have to be quick on the pause to see him on the hood of the car. This was a Police video. They couldn't find any fault with the cyclist. LOL
And he was an INSTRUCTOR of such NONSENSE. He is 99% at FAULT of his own fate.
On my 3,900 miles tour in the NW mountains, I rode FRAP 100%.
Riding up the river on the I84 in Oregon, I could see that trucks were reacting to where exactly I was in the wide shoulder, from 200 yards back. Many would move to the inside lane anyway. Not being seen is mostly a laughable LAB concept. Lots of times I would try to take advantage of the wind wake.
Looked like there was a segregated MUP adjacent to the traffic lanes. If I were riding there I would have used that instead of riding with traffic, but that's just me. If, however, that option didn't exist and I had to cross the bridge I would have done the same thing as the cyclist. The fact that he was hit from behind by an inattentive/drunk/high/stupid driver was just bad luck on his part, and to say that it was 99% his fault is just plain ridiculous. I doubt many here would find that scenario 'hilarious' as you do, but like [MENTION=423651]Maelochs[/MENTION] says, I won't tell you what I think of your post or what your post says about you. We all have it coming to us, some deserve it more than others.
