I try to do my part when I lead rides in that I am a stickler for single file riding. Many towns around here are ticketing cyclists for riding 2 abreast. Some people still do not listen. Yes, we need to educate both sides.
Amen!

I don't know what some folks think...if a 150 lb cyclist wants to truly provoke the driver of a 2,000lb car, we know who loses. Silver and I debate this frequently as she "asserts her rights to the road"...this is one area where I'm more conservative than she is.

In Indiana, cyclists can legally ride in 2's side by side...but Everything is permissible...not everything is beneficial.
