[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]By riding in the road, they are endangering everyone! It is called a bike path for a reason.[/quote]

No, they are not endangering anyone. Aggressive drivers who don't know the law and refuse to respect bikes that are lawfully riding in the road are endangering everyone.

Also, it is a multi use path, not a bike path, meaning strollers and pedestrians are also using the path. [/quote]

This is whatthey say every time, on every thread but its total BS.  The cyclists ARE endandgering everyone else with their selfish, showboat, weekend warrior, "I have a legal right" to ride in the middle of the road if I want attitude.  The wide side path that runs along MacArthur on the way to Glen Echo is rarely used by ANYONE.  Additionally, it is more than wide enough for runners, strollers and cyclists.  Further, the cyclist on MacArthur RARELY resopcet any of the traffic laws:  not the stop siogns, not the lights, nothing.  Many, many people are getting sick and tired of these selfish and self-absorbed cyclists making the roads so dangerous for everyone.  These cyclists are so intent on shoving their "right to be in the road" down everyone elses' throats that I think has become necessary to change the laws.

Why don't you support the petition to create the bike lanes that Montgomery County's planning board says is needed?  Is it more important that you win or that they lose?[/quote]
