It's unnecessary. The CA rule begins 21202. (a) Any person operating a bicycle upon a roadway at a speed less than the normal speed of traffic moving in the same direction at that time shall ride as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway except under any of the following situations: I consider that, on a mostly empty roadway, a cyclist's speed is the normal speed of traffic at that time, so the rule does not apply. A court of law may disagree, but my conscious is clear. That sort of echos the motivation for the name of this effort: http://iamtraffic.org/ "I'm not delaying traffic; I _am_ traffic." This article touches on much of what we're discussing: http://www.humantransport.org/bicycl...cs1/page7.html - Frank Krygowski |

duane I live in a tourist area of south Florida. Winters, we see a flood of Ohioans. Southern winter snowbirds tend to group together wether in Texas/AZ/or Florida. Ohioans, we find are a lot like what Frank seems tube here in RBT: relatively intelligent, polite, slow moving , good traffic driving, dull... Excellent naybors. WE see Quebecker people. Same deal even the uh lower classes. maybe you have something in common ? |

Not sure I've met anyone from Ohio. WE see Quebecker people. Same deal even the uh lower classes. Not sure what you mean by lower classes. Pretty expensive to summer in FLA at any rate. maybe you have something in common ? I'm not a Quebecker though. I just live here. FWIW I know a lot of Quebec snow birds and none of them remind me of Frank. -- duane |

Winter camping on Florida is relatively inexpensive, not long ago free ! The USA allows Canadian prostitution over the border for winter touring. The ones I've met appear non-violent if not non-criminal and generally laid back. We should be so fortunate. Like Frank ! |

UH, I was complimenting Canadians. yakno...everyone said your not fit to eat with pigs but I said....
Tent camping out of your car or truck is possible esp if yo're are employed in the entertainment industry. Training or flying down with bike touring equipment is likely. There are 'bike tourers' everywhere....Canadian banks in Miami/Hialeah. I know Canadians, have Q relatives from wayback. Winter south and we're butt deep in Canadians....Quartzite/Imperial Dam/Yuma/Rockport.. We feel your pain. Local Noise suggest a 'bike touring' count for the county I base from runs abt 2-3000/winter. If you read http://www.amazon.com/Sierra-Natural.../dp/087156551X each area is abt 75 miles apart then mix in National Forest/State parks https://www.google.com/#q=quartzsite+blm+camping http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/FL_cc_us.html |
