I thouroughly confused to daily commute's sometimes rules, diane. completely befuddled. He wants to make a vehicular parity statement with his bike, but anytime the traffic gets too bad, he will pass the cars using a bicycle like a bicycle.
maybe my confusion is a side effect from my recent elbow reduction operation, to keep my elbows out of the way of overtaking traffic

after helmet head pointed out my elbows have now become a safety liabiltity in another hand wringing, armchair biking advocacy thread....
so sorry, off topic!

but perhaps daily commute would benefit from an elbow reduction operation as well, get him more streamlined to go mythbusting...or is it axiom disproving, when he passes stopped traffic?
