Ok, fine, then tell me more about it. How, for example, would you deal with this situation on a motorcycle? Would you ride a motorcycle in the shoulder on the wrong side of the road? Why not? Assume you had a good reason to want to avoid the "legal" alternative that you are choosing to avoid when you're on your bicycle. In other words, please focus on the specific reasons you would not ride a motorcycle along the route you're espousing for bicycling.
