[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not a car.  Move your bike off to the right.  You are holding up hundreds of cars behind you that now have to go [b]30-40mph [/b]below the speed limit.

I am an avid runner and biker. Multiple marathons and bike races, countless training hours and I never for once thought I was a car.[/quote]

People are taking the lane on a 55MPH road? Where is this?

I never take the lane on a road faster than 35MPH posted limit.  For that to make someone go 30MPH below the speed limit would mean I am riding at 5MPH (I go faster than that even uphill, and I do not take the lane uphill on steep grades) Also if I am taking the lane on a 35MPH road, there is usually either an easy way to pass in an adjacent lane, or I do it for a very short distance only.

Most of the places I take the lane are 30MPH posted limit or 25MPH.  You do the math.   [/quote]

Congrats, and when you [u]take the lane going uphill [/u]on Wisconsin, 16th St, Connecticut or Reno Road during rush hour, and the speed limit is 25 or 30 as you point out, please explain why the 50 cars stuck behind you should be [i]delighted[/i] to be going 5 mph (which is what you're doing uphill, don't lie) instead of 25 or 30 in the case of Connecticut.
