*I've heard my area does but I haven't been able to find it in the law (if it does I guarantee it's violated all the time). As someone with an etrike who likes to follow the law I always walk it when there isn't a bike path (still not comfortable on roads unless it's a sharrow and even then maybe) just to be safe.
Then there’s the ones who hog a car lane at 15mph, then speed up to 20 when a car shows up. Or blatantly slow down like they’re entitled to your time.
And congratulations. At best you are a horrible person. At worse you could have killed somebody, if you managed to cause the cyclist to wreck and get his head crushed by a passing vehicle like a ripe melon.
A motorist once threw the contents of his ash tray at me. I followed him to his parking spot at the Walmart. Turns out that when a guy driving a pickup truck isn't protected by a big steel box and is instead face to face with someone with a 14" beard, quads like a power lifter, and a u-lock in his hand he isn't so tough anymore. He was really quick to apologize.
As I mentioned in a previous post, because in many places it's illegal for the cyclist to use the sidewalk, and even where it's not they would be putting pedestrians in danger. Just pass them like any other slower moving vehicle. Safely and legally.
I think both motorists and cyclists should agree that better, safer cycling infrastructure is needed everywhere. Safer for all parties involved, both on bikes and in cars.
Car owners pay for the roads and supporting infrastructure (traffic lights, etc) through a combination of fuel taxes and property taxes on their vehicles.
Cyclists pay neither fuel tax nor property tax on their bikes yet they have equal access to roads and its supporting infrastructure.
I agree. My local municipality has been working for years to add bike lanes and appropriate road markings in the area. None of the funding was secured through taxation of bicycle-related products or services.
So, you're welcome cyclists.
Thank you. Although as a cyclist I also own a car, which of course I pay taxes on. I also work a full time job and spend money in the community, which is also taxed. We're not just freeloading off motorist's hard-earned cash... most of us anyway, though I hesitate to call Methhead Bill pedaling down the road on his stolen Walmart kid's bike a "cyclist".
There could be something said about the difficulty PD has in ticketing cyclists that violate vehicle laws, since a bike requires neither a license nor insurance though.
But that's a law enforcement issue, and I'm primarily finance focused (since it's my job).
Soooo... would it be OK if I nudged Bill off into a ditch sometime then?
I wouldn't rat you out.
