[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bikers flying around blind corners on multi use trails.  I've had to literally jump off the trail to avoid being slammed into.

Bikers choosing to bike down busy, high travel roads.

I used to bike ride myself and I never treated the trails and roads like they belonged to me, Me, and only - MEEEEE![/quote]

I bike on busy roads when there is no good alternative - I would rather slow you down than hit a pedestrian on a sidewalk.  Or get right hooked by someone entering a driveway. If its a road with more than one lane in each direction you can pass around me as I stay in the right lane.  If its a road with one lane in each direction and its wide enough to stay to the far right without major fear of getting doored, I will sometimes do that, depending on relative speeds and how long I will be on the road.  If there is room to swerve into vacant parking spaces and SAFELY get back into the general travel lane when I have to, I will do that to let cars pass.   I never treat the road like I own it.  But if taking the lane is the safe way to ride, I will do that.

And yeah, people should generally not pass on blind curves.   [/quote]
