It is perfectly legal for bikers to ride on the road. Infact they are allowed 1m clearence from the gutter out. I know many motorists dont like biie riders on the road, but they need to start looking at it from the bikers point of view. If the bike rider has no where to go, except on the road, they are prey to the many cars that come past. I'ts not just the annoying issue of bikes on roads, but safety. And if this person was riding at 'peak hour' then it is pretty stupid. When the roads are really busy, ride on the footpath, because you will just be holding up traffic and putting yourself at risk. Still, i dont feel very safe riding on a main road because i dont know what the drivers intensions are. We just need to look out for each other whether your on a car or bike.
