[quote=spdrun]Bikes are traffic. Bikes are allowed to take the lane regardless of signage. Cagers who whinge about it can fork themselves: that’s the law.[/quote]
spdrun, FYI, a number of bicyclists have been hit and killed around here because they keep insisting that “cagers fork themselves.” It doesn’t matter what the law says, if you’re doing something so stupid that would obviously lead to serious injury or death (like riding in the middle of lanes designed for 45+ MPH traffic, especially when there are narrow roads and/or blind curves), it may well be your “right,” but don’t whine about it when you get hit.
I’ve seen bicyclists cross 4-5 lanes of 50+ MPH traffic just so they could get into the left turn lane instead of simply crossing the street (on their green, no less!) and crossing again with the light and crosswalk. Nope, they’re going to show everyone that they are more important than the tens or hundreds of pissed-off people now lined up behind them in heavy traffic.
