Road ID has been running a commercial during TDF coverage that has safety tips for riding in traffic. Most of it is pretty good, but there is one point that I strongly disagree with.
They show a group of riders coming up on a line of traffic that's stopped at a red light, and they say the riders should pass the stopped cars on the right and position themselves at the front. I think this is specifically against the law, at least in Kansas, and as a driver it perturbs me when cyclists do this because 1. I have to pass the slow moving traffic again, and 2. I can't always see the bike coming up beside me.
Did I miss something in the commercial, or are laws different in other parts of the country?
