Deciding how to respond to this newscast - we can "learn a lesson" from the recent injuries and fatalities... the lesson - ride closer to the curb!! Two of three wrecks happened to cyclists on *sidewalks,* the other a hit and run on a wide, EMPTY road... but no, we should learn our place and (kidja not) that drivers have every bit the same right to our lane as we do = implying that they have the right to be in the same exact lane at the same exact time as we do, so we'd better get out of the way. (No mention of 3-food passing law.)

Yes, they have the law *wrong.* Oh, and this is a councilman who rides a bicycle ... don't know if he bobs and weaves or simply only goes out on training rides in the country but I hate that drivers will see this and think "See? I was right! They're not allowed to slow me down! If they're 'impeding traffic' it's illegal!"
