I think I'd like cycling for exercise, but it's too dangerous.

Which kindof proves why we need protected biking lanes/paths. More would bike

The problem is they don’t care of the rules.

I was referring to cyclists but it holds true for drivers as well.

You mean drivers? Because you're right, that's my point. Drivers don't give 3 ft

Both don’t follow the law. Sure some do but the majority of bikes/drivers don’t.

We build buildings to support people in wheelchairs and learn it benefits all.

Bike/alternative transit is often a better cost-benefit advantage too

Mountain biking is safer and is more fun.

Great way to work legs with an injured back.

Because there is no bike lane they are probably trying to protect themselves

Hate to break it to you, but they're allowed to do that.

That doesn’t make it wise now does it.

Experienced cyclists know that "taking the lane" is often smartest/safest

runnincoug

5/6/21 8:19am

Agreed. Part of what I hate about these discussions is all the anti-cyclist

The angst against cyclists breaking the law is hilarious. When I go running,

How about just waiting for the 8 foot trailer to pass, before you pass?

I agree with you 100%. This is why we need separate biking paths for cyclists

runnincoug

5/6/21 11:14am

It’s the unpredictability that creates the angst.

All the outrage an op doesn’t even understand the law properly. 🙂

A wise bishop once told our ward "Just because you can doesn't mean you should."

They should absolutely not be allowed to do so where there is no room for them on the road.

Adrielle

They are entitled to the lane just as much as you are.

Blue for Life

Even when riding two and three wide? Not wise

Kilgruman

Actually, it's the safest way to bike if there isn't a bike lane for them.

Some perhaps. But not all.

I think most agree. However, it needs to be safe to ride on the road.

Kilgruman

5/6/21 11:31am

I quit riding here in St George because it is not safe on the roads

Kilgruman

Well, my point is that cyclists shouldn't be on the road ... they should have
