Nice video, Dan and Brian. I wish it were required viewing for all prospective motorists and bicyclists. It would be great to get it put into traffic school courses, as well.
I was interested that Dan often took the right tire track, as I frequently do, rather than the center of the lane, as HH would insist.
The lower the speed limit and traffic flow, the more I endorse the principles of vehicular cycling. It is at freeway-style high speed free merges and diverges where our opinions sometimes "diverge."
I do fully concur with gene's comments, above. Let's see a cycling training video shot on Jamboree Rd. when traffic is heavy, but still fast. The more I think about it, the more I realize that, except for horrendous air quality, I actually preferred transportation cycling in Los Angeles over San Diego. When I lived in the vast west central L.A. floodplain, with its tight grid of well-connected local streets, I could almost always chart an efficient route on 35mph or slower streets. In much of San Diego and southern Orange Counties, high-speed streets are sometimes all that is available. Speed kills -- physics is physics, there is less time for motorists to react, etc.
