Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You should never right as close to the curb as you can. That just invites trouble with cars. Stay 2-3 feet out in the road.
See previously posted Florida statute.

That's absolutely true!

My first marathon was Chicago in 1980. All we wanted to do was to complete the course running 9 minute miles so we lined up at the start by the "9 minute mile" sign. It took us 3 1/2 miles to get past all the F%&$^ng walkers so we could jog at our "race" pace.

FAIL at fail.
I even bolded it for you for god sakes.

So you think "practicable" and "possible" have the same legal meaning?

The A&S guys would just love that.


Now, why don't you go ride as close to the curb as possible. Come on, I know you can ride closer than that.
