I even to to a degree when the cyclist is just being a jerk to his fellow road mates.<br /><br />But! Legally, at least in CA (and to my knowledge the rest of the US), bikes are <i>exactly</i> the same as cars except where non motor powered vehicles are specifically disallowed (freeways etc).<br /><br />This actually works against them often, bikes are banned on general city side walks, bikes are not allowed to ride in crosswalks etc. (I actually got sued because of this, but that's a different story).<br /><br />Alot of non cyclists don't know about what bikers have to deal with as far as that goes. Part of that is because most cops don't enforce the rules as such unless it's in an area commonly overpopulated by bikers (the hills above Palo Alto, downtown SJ/SF, santa cruz etc)<br /><br />Be nice to your less steel encased road companions, because they quite literally can't go anywhere else.seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13356378043444273597noreply@blogger.com
