bicycles should be ridden on the side of the road unless they can ride the posted speed limits . then and only then should they be out in the travel portion . Any proffesional riding organization will tell you that .
a person operating a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, low-speed vehicle, or moped upon a roadway must ride as near to the right side of the roadway as practicable, exercising due care when passing a standing vehicle or a vehicle proceeding in the same direction.
a person operating a bicycle upon a highway or street at less than the existing speed of traffic would have to ride as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway, except as follows:
-- When overtaking and passing another bicycle or any other vehicle proceeding in the same direction.
-- When preparing to turn left.
-- When conditions make the right-hand edge of the roadway unsafe or reasonably unusable by bicycles, including surface hazards, an uneven roadway surface, drain openings, debris, parked or moving vehicles or bicycles, pedestrians, animals, or other obstacles, or if the lane is too narrow to permit a vehicle to overtake and pass a bicycle safely.
-- When operating a bicycle in a lane in which the traffic is turning right but the bicyclist intends to go straight through the intersection.
-- When operating a bicycle upon a one-way highway or street having two or more marked traffic lanes, in which case the bicyclist could ride as near the left-hand curb or edge of that roadway as practicable.
I respect bicyclists that follow the rules and have a brain .
