The Chainlink

Ignorance of the law isn’t an excuse, but the patchwork chaos of cycling rules is a better explanation than stupidity or selfishness.

And I have total sympathy for the frail, mature (old) men & women who do their shopping for necessities and pedal along slowly on the sidewalk going home, but I have none for the 'Bum-biker' types who speed up from behind you a few inches from your ribcage while they are carrying a black plastic bag from the "L" store .

I cycle sidewalks early morning when the sun is blinding. If I can't see, I have no faith that a motorist can see me.

Sounds like we need wider sidewalks.
