genec,
Is it part of the class curriculum for an LCI to recommend against riding in he travel lane if a BL exists & vice versa? I would think the LCI would advise for cyclists to find out what the laws & ordinances state & follow those instead of saying you should only ride in the travel lane or BL no matter what.
I think once I receive my LCI certification one of the things I will teach is adherance to the law & if a cyclist does not agree with the law work to change it.
