So, when a car is stopped at a red light or a stop sign, and stop and go traffic is moving at about 5 mph, a bicycle should not be in the line of traffic even though they are perfectly capable of moving at the same speed as the cars at that moment? Or are you saying that taking the lane is rude and stupid since obviously bikes can't go as fast as cars can?
