[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drive on a two lane road (40 mph speed limit) with bikers that take the lane. What really annoys me is when I change lanes to pass and get back in front of a biker, and [b]then at a red light they zoom up to the front[/b] and slow it all down again. When there's a biker on my route it doubles my commute time. [/quote]

This is legal.

Generally what slows people down on their car commute is other cars. But certainly your voice would be a welcome addition to the call for more and better bicycle infrastructure.[/quote]

I'm all for bike lanes. I'm against going 15 miles an hour in a 40 mph zone when there is an empty sidewalk and no restrictions on bikers using them. [/quote]

A sidewalk is not a bike path.

And the speed limit is the maximum speed you're legally allowed to go under ideal conditions, not the minimum acceptable speed.

Your argument is basically that people on bikes should get out of your way because they're slowing you down, but that's not how the road network works.[/quote]

And a road is not a bike path either. [/quote]

You're right, a road is a road, and people on bicycles are allowed to use roads.[/quote]
