and i haven't said that anywhere. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 29/06/2010 02:39:06 PM
and as I DID say above, you keep equating how cyclists behave on a HIGHWAY (or at high way speeds) with road riding and using that as basis for what should be done about it.

Let me guess. You live in an American suburb. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/06/2010 06:12:24 AM 547 Views
Yeah, the "sport" part gives that away even more than everything else... *NM* Legolas - 28/06/2010 08:06:03 AM 560 Views
seriously, you think people didn't use bikes as transportation anymore!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 28/06/2010 08:26:36 AM 643 Views

I think you missed the part... LadyLorraine - 28/06/2010 06:22:35 AM 1031 Views
That was offensive to cyclists. People who think like you are why so many of us die. *NM* Tim - 28/06/2010 08:28:24 AM 623 Views
Now that I've calmed down a bit, I'm going to actually address your points. Tim - 28/06/2010 12:16:10 PM 1403 Views

I understand that what he said offended you ßelals Girl - 28/06/2010 04:11:57 PM 1166 Views
You're right, I was stereotyping and getting a little ad hominem. I'm sorry. *NM* Tim - 29/06/2010 08:33:20 AM 601 Views

It is illegal to drive on the shoulder. Joel - 29/06/2010 09:43:40 AM 1172 Views
i'm pretty sure bicycles are banned from almost all highways, regardless of access LadyLorraine - 29/06/2010 02:34:00 PM 959 Views
Maybe I should have said "modern roads." Aemon - 28/06/2010 08:20:55 PM 1144 Views
Perhaps. Rebekah - 28/06/2010 08:36:15 PM 1195 Views
I think we just disagree on the necessity is all. Aemon - 28/06/2010 09:00:44 PM 967 Views
Matters of degree, I suppose. Rebekah - 28/06/2010 09:07:40 PM 981 Views
Yes, because that cyclist is SUCH a hazard to you in your car. LadyLorraine - 29/06/2010 01:03:05 AM 1121 Views
The central issue is people. Joel - 29/06/2010 09:52:22 AM 1099 Views
you keep talking about cyclists on highways as if it applied to all roads. LadyLorraine - 29/06/2010 02:37:31 PM 1157 Views
There are TWO equally important points there: Joel - 30/06/2010 01:15:17 AM 1160 Views
then why are you arguing with me? I said that the central issue is people being stupid. *NM* LadyLorraine - 01/07/2010 05:59:23 AM 568 Views

He never said there were no buses in our city. He said that, as a student, he can't afford them. *NM* Rebekah - 01/07/2010 08:42:47 AM 580 Views
I'd say most urban areas have few roads with speed limits above 50 km/h (30mph) Floffe - 01/07/2010 10:35:20 AM 1033 Views

In Sweden we often have combined bike and walking paths a few meters to the side of the road Floffe - 28/06/2010 06:22:40 PM 984 Views
