no, mark, you misunderstand my reason for asking this question. I never said ANYTHING about bike lanes in my questions. they are irrelevant to the question.
there's a lot of dogmatism surrounding vehicular cycling surrounding competant versus incompetancy. jihad jhonny is most verbal about incompetant bicyclists.
my question is:
If a vehicular cyclist chooses a more enjoyable route, it is personal choice, but if the average bicyclist chooses a more enjoyable route, it is incompetancy??
I dispute the notions embodied in the vc dogma.
