Man this thread & others have really got me wondering. It seems some here take up riding bikes so they can feel empowered & go about carrying a torch.
Some of what is described as safe here I question.

Such as moving to the center while approaching a blind corner with a vehicle coming up behind you. Commuting on a bike can be dangerous. Why make it more so? Or cause a driver of a car or truck to slow down.

Where I come from it is a common courtesy to give way to faster moving traffic. Whether ones on a bike or car.

Nonconforming, dysfunction seems to be an accepted way of things among way to many that choose to ride a bike.

Maybe I am just clueless about this?
