[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally don't have a problem with cyclists who ride in the lane so long as it is in the right third of the lane so that passing is easy and safe.  If the rider rides in the center of the lane, that is unnecessary and obnoxious, especially when he or she is aware of a line of cars waiting to pass.  [b]Unless a cyclist can maintain the speed limit, he or she should pull over to let cars pass.[/b]

I also believe cyclists can ride side by side as long as traffic is VERY light.  If traffic is moderate to heavy, cyclists should ride single file, or at least have the cyclist on the left side pull back so that cars can pass.

The cyclists who feel justified in obstructing traffic for the benefit of their workout regimen are the ones who are making this an issue.  If it weren't for their pompous behavior, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Just so you know, the speed limit is a maximum speed, not a minimum.  When the sign says "25 MPH" that does not mean that driving 29MPH is okay, but driving 23MPH is forbidden.

Driving up to 10 MPH over the limit is widely considered acceptable. Why is driving one mile under the limit unacceptable? [/quote]
