Correction: "You're an idiot". Thanks. So that should be "You're an idiot" then? Well, not by himself. Tom is an idiot along with Frank. I know. But Tom has a sense of humor. |

As an example, speed limits only apply to motor vehicles (except in Royal Parks, which can make their own byelaws, and chose to state "any vehicle" as part of their speed limit rule, instead of "motor vehicle" as used in the national legislation. "Any other vehicle" would mean things like hours limits intended for truck drivers would also be applicable to cyclists, as would the requirement so fit tachometers. On the bright side, it says you have the same rights as well as the same duties, so you can't be hounded off the roads onto facilities. We have the same stipulations but we apparently can be hounded off the roads, at least in case of where a bike lane exists. It's not as bad as it sounds though. I don't know of any bike lane here that puts me in a door zone, for example. Usually where there's on street parking, there is no bike lane. Or there's a bike lane that's separated from the street. In some cases, the bike lanes are on roads where the traffic is heavy or the speed limit is fast and I probably wouldn't take the road without the lane. |

Here's an old exchange with Frank where, in exasperation, I reply to his formulaic spiel using using recycled responses from older threads. In the recycled quotes there are references to still older threads. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.b...38159264d66f1e At least he's consistent. Sounds pretty much like the same stuff that I was greeted with when I first posted here. Made the mistake of describing a fall where my helmet was dented. May have even remarked that I was glad that the dent was in the helmet and not my had. After that, the siege began. |

On many of the roads around here a half hour drive would probably take a driver past 50 or more cyclists. I doubt that I have passed 50 cyclists in a motor vehicle this year. Have you driven a motor vehicle this year? About 7,000 miles for work. Another couple of thousand on out of state trips. -- Tºm Shermªn - 42.435731,-83.985007 I am a vehicular cyclist. |
