What?!? I'm not sure what points your trying to make with any of this. I'm just telling you that things are the way they are for a reason... and I for one, like them that way.
The point being made is that some things need to change for the better, and use an open mind to change it. It's easy to not have to think about it much, because you like things the way they are and just conform to it.
sparky said:The only time [motorized] bicyclists should be able to travel on a road with a speed limit of 55+ mph is when there is a dedicated lane (meaning a real partition between them and the other drivers, not just a solid, white line) for said pedestrians. That is all.
That is thinking very small. Are you telling us that you should be bound to only ride locally around your neighborhood? Have you ever rode your MB to another city before? You will encounter a typical two lane 55mph road with a shoulder lane. Bicyclists ride the shoulder lane, and cars have to respect that. Also when driving your car, it's common to see people walking in the shoulder lane. You need to consider the folks that have no cars and need to get around.
I can agree with the interstates banning bicyclists and pedestrians. But not on keeping them off the highways. Highways and high speed roads are what connect everything in every country.
All this thinking about everything is fine the way it is, or make more laws, or don't allow this and that, is making this country more and more a police state. It takes people to wake up and not repress everything to the point of oblivion. That includes MBikes and everything else.
