[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2831325, member: 94491"] Some places advocate walking or bike riding AGAINST the flow of traffic-- they claim its easier to see each other--- I've never been a fan and refuse to cooperate with those signs. 50mph car, and bike going 20mph in the same direction means a net speed of 30mph crash.....50 mph car and bike going 20mph in an opposed direction is a net crash speed of 70mph --- ill always opt for the lower net crash speed if I have an option. Most bicycles dont obey the rules/laws anymore anyway -- they think riding on the sidewalk or across cross walks is ok, let alone the other rules/laws they break--- and now in Colorado cars must give bikes a 3 foot allowance in order to pass them (even if the bicyclist is breaking the law)---this law allows the auto drive to cross over a double yellow ( DO NOT PASS ZONE) to pass a bicycle. Which of course creates confusion of who actually has the right of way. And bikes are allowed to treat stop signs as yield signs, and red stop lights as stop signs --- go figure! [/QUOTE]
