I get what you guys are discussing, but really, Anyone on a bike that wouldn't ride in that false lane is putting themselves at more risk then necessary. Riding a bicycle on roads is always a risk, many drivers don't know the rules of the roads, like many cyclists. FYI, I have been doing law enforcement for over 21 years, I have been involved in my fair share of pedestrian and cyclists deaths investigations. So I have a different perspective on it. In an ideal world every major arterial road would have a bike lane. As along as we have motor vehicles sharing the road with cyclists and pedestrians we will have accidents.
As far as the Debbie Downer comment, sorry. I was trying to insert some humor. Clearly this forum does not respond well to it and I will refrain from it in the future.
