Bicyclists

I call BS.

I think that they want to have it both ways:

Treated as a pedestrian when convenient, treated as a motor vehicle when convenient. The convenience is all about them, has nothing to do with anybody else.

Or maybe they CAN have it both ways, and that pisses off the car-drivers.

Fair enough. I don't have a problem sharing the road.

Dropping into a VERY confined space with a 60 or 70 lb bicycle is another matter altogether...

This joint is located just past the end of a bike path that goes way up the Cedar, and has the only running water bathrooms for several miles.

t/j Just had to say, I remember actually swimming in this when it was a swimming pool, early to mid 70's Mom playing in softball tourneys at the park, lil' Seamus doin' flips off the deep end, good times. flashback & t/j over.

Yup, and they fenced off the little ditch across the street we used to skate in.

Karma, baby!

ftr, i have no problems with the concept of bikes on roads, i think we need more people riding instead of driving.  i have no problem sharing.  i DO have a problem with cyclists who are on the road and DONT follow the traffic laws that apply to cars (weaving, running reds, going over curb onto sidewalk to pass, etc) ...
