Rule #66// No mirrors.

Mirrors are allowed on your (aptly named) Surly Big Dummy or your Surly Long Haul Trucker. Not on your road steed. Not on your Mountain bike. Not on your helmet. If someone familiar with The Rules has sold you such an abomination, return the mirror and demand a refund, plus interest and damages.





RULE 67



mentioning Surly or LHT is stricktly forbidden, cause for terminal expulsion from all future events or celebrations

I think it is supposed to be satire, but

As I was saying, I agree with the rule that I am badass for riding in
bad weather, but then again, I do use fenders, so I'm not that
badass.

Goodness, am I the only one that gets caught 30 Km from home and has

I think it is supposed to be satire, but

Presented as such, and amusing, as any good satire is, *because* of
the underlying truth.

I consider rules FWIW, their spirit and intent, how they may bear on
me, etc., but do not have my life dictated.

Around here, we don't get caught in the rain . . . we go out in the
rain and come back in the rain. It's more like getting caught in the
dry. The pineapple express is moving through today -- wet and
warmish for December. I'm amazed by the number of bicyclists staying
on their bikes through the recent stormy weather -- and,this morning,
the number turning toward the hilly route in to town rather than the
flats/downhill. My legs were blasted from skiing on Sunday in deep
new snow, so I whimped and took the flat/downhill route. The bicycle
racks at work are busier than ever this time of year. I'm actually
hoping things thin out when it gets really cold. I like not having to
pick my way through cyclists.

And for Frank and Dan, I almost got whacked last night in my magical
new green lane when some car wheeled around me to the right at about
30-40 miles an hour, trying to carry enough speed to beat me through
the intersection. Right he
http://btaoregon.org/2012/06/guest-b...of-bicyclists/
I think the driver was actually using the markings to judge how fast
he had to go to just miss me, although he misjudged my speed, and it
turned in to a clear game of chicken. He didn't slow, and I decided
not to commit suicide.

The driver was some Bohemian guy with a beard, probably late for his
Yoga class. He was looking right at me as I jammed on my brakes to
avoid colliding with his front quarter panel/bumper. The aggressive
driver demographic is not just the butt-cracks in F150s -- it's now
punk Bohemians, some with those bicycle licence plates.

But that's the argument, isn't it. You shouldn't be on the right in the
green paint. You should have been in the center of the lane where the
guy doing 30-40mph was driving so you could prevent him from turning
into you. Ignore the fact that he saw you and tried intentionally to
cut you off. If you were in front of him he would have magically forgot
about being late for his yoga class or whatever and docilely sat in the
traffic behind you at 18-20 mph or whatever speed you were riding.

It would be convenient if all idiots drove a specific car to let you
know that they were idiots. Unfortunately, that's not the case. In
fact, my last near miss was with another cyclist (using the term
loosely) passing me on the right and trying to left hook me from behind.
