I think a larger point is being made -it is not about pissing off - TopicsExpress



          

I think a larger point is being made -it is not about pissing off drivers, it is about taking up enough room despite the affect on drivers to stay seen and safe. When that upsets drivers that is for the driver to deal with - the objective of all riders needs to be stay safe and stay seen! Texas does not have great infrastructure for peds or cyclists and dangerous conditions are often created by lanes to small to accommodate riders staying out of door zones, away from debris on the sides of roads, and by cars crowding us when riding to the right. Taking the lane is key to safety and staying off sidewalks can add hours, days, and even years to your life. The article is cheeky but it makes a solid point. Being nice and asking for cars to please be nice only gets you a ghost bike when your dead. I rather live to ride another day.
