I split lanes three times yesterday... because the line of traffic at four cars deep is just deep enough that I'm cmpletely invisible to the bloke about to make a left turn oncoming, and/or it's a quick light that I won't get through hanging back. All four cars get by me before I'm back on skinny roads (I plan it that way).

I take exception to "most cyclists". Round hereabouts most cyclists do the right thing - but there's a few percent consisting primarily of couriers and neophytes who do the wrong thing.

Not to say that differenciation in rules is a bad thing - but blatant and dangerous disrespect for them damages cycling as a whole.

Dave Moulton has a distinct take on it.

Howdy--

Okay, I haven't linked to the other blogs, I've only read Fritz's synopsis, but I think this might be pertinent.

One of my favorite sets of bike laws is in Idaho, where cyclists get to enjoy the "Idaho stop". That is, cyclists get to treat stop signs as yields, and we can proceed through red lights after coming to a complete stop (though I hope that doesn't encourage riders to split the lane between parked cars and traffic).

I think these allowances recognize that the laws weren't made for cyclists, who will yield out of self-interest, and who could make do with much less expensive and complicated traffic control than stoplights. Plus, the stoplight part allows riders to leave a plug of traffic behind and enjoy some open road.

Happy Trail,

Now the one you said to go read, which I read first, was much more interesting.
Of course the best way to educate drivers about cycling is to get 'em out on bicycles. How about we arrange a perfect storm and have all the pieces in place for a major marketing campaign when the days start to warm up, and not wait for our so-called leaders to tell us that we can become less dependent on oil by ... using less of it...

Welp, mr. folk cycling lost me when he stated as fact that "And yes, they sometimes ride the wrong way on a one-way street, because it is less dangerous to meet a car or motorcycle head-on than to be passed by one."
Whatever.

I'm jealous. That looks incredibly fun! It would appear that we switched modes this weekend; I abandoned the trails to ride in traffic.

(Note to self, it's time to find an old mountain bike and try the trails at the park...)

My car mechanic says, "if you want people to drive safe, get rid of all the airbags and s---, and put a big f---in' spike in the middle of the steering wheel. THEN they'll slow down!"

I really like my car mechanic.

Gee you mean drivers don't know to slow down and be more cautious when dangerous conditions are apparent? Whether it's for fog or bicyclists, auto-truck drivers have more excuses...

...hell, i can't fault the man for digging a 21 year old, but that chick just doesn't look very wholesome...

...that's what makes me wonder about his judgment...

Michael---he had an amazing wife who was with him through what, exactly? Success after success, fame and riches? It's not like she was there holding his hand when he had cancer, ya know. More power to Lance if he wants to nail a 21 year old. That's one of the benefits of being rich, athletic, and famous.

If you add the twins' ages, they total 42. Then he'd be dating older women again.

It just seems wrong somehow but, personally, I'm thinking the media is blowing something way out of proportion that really isn't much of anything. Like they've never done that before! :)
At least that's my theory...

A good story about her....

She is friends with an old bike shop owner/boss of mine. She came into town on her way to a race and her seat sucked. So I sold her one of my seats.... which she loved

There's a great chance Kirsten Gum is riding the seat still that my bare ass once touched.

You have to give it to Lance. He had an amazing wife who was next to him through everything, but then he left her and ended up with Sheryl Crow. Then he left her...

Now he's with Ashley Olsen?!

Doesn't make any sense to me.

And the blog is in an "internet coma" right now. Not dead, but on life support. Not sure if I can host a blog through my SmugMug site, but I am working on it. Although MichaelFranken.com is still doing quite well!

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "BioPerformance gas pill":

Wow, Lisa, fritz, etal. The illusion that ypu are getting better milage amazes me to no end,I do know what i am talking about. I sold this crap for almost a year before the A.G of texas shut it down, which was good, because ALL the people I sold it to either had car trouble (clogged injectors) or wanted their money back because it made the MPG worse. I can assure you that their is no scientific controlled experiment that shows and improvement in that product. I threw a case of that suff out (stinking up the garage), cause I could not GIVE it away. Anybody that says I dont know what I talking about is making money selling the MLM "vaporware" marketing side and for all practical purposes could be selling wishes. Good luck folkes.....suckers!!!!!!!!
