Cycling/Trail Etiquette
snowdragon:
Dear Cyclists do not spread across the road and bring traffic to a crawl...do not take your feet off the pedals and see how slow you can go because you think you own the road. Mr Policeman behind you will be unamused. So will every car drive you hold up while daring someone to run you over. Making people stop their cars til you're good and ready is rude.
In my area this stuff as well as riding on the sidewalk is illegal....illegalities are rude.
kherbert05:
If you move to a new area find out the rules. If there are signs that clearly say
Hike and Bike Trail
and other signs that say
No bicycles on the road - Stay on Hike and Bike Trail.
follow them. Don't call the kids following the rules nasty names. Don't call the cop that stops because you are screaming at 2 kids calling them nasty names - he will give you a ticket.

Please do not try to pass them on the right or grab onto the tailgate/trunk when they are stopped at a light and then scream at them when they didn't see you when the light suddenly turns green.

:o People actually do that?
When passing a cyclist on a bike lane give them as much space as possible. The force of your car passing can create a draft which will pull them off course. It's very much like what happens to your car when you're passed by a B-double truck on the freeway.
Miss March:
While it may be fun to chat with your fellow bikers, please don't ride down a narrow road side by side, making it impossible for cars to pass you without fully going into the on-coming lane.
