Giving roadies a bad rep

[caligurl]

both rides in question.... the roads were 2 lane... one lane of traffic in each direction....

i have to disagree with the more than one lane thing though.... the highway that goes between our town and the next two desert towns and continues on "down the hill"... i would NEVER EVER dream of riding IN the righthand lane... which is what you propose... suggest.... IF i even ride on that road... i ride TO THE RIGHT and to the right of white shoulder marking line, if possible... AND every other rider i've seen on that road does the same!

the rules of the road (at least here in california...) don't say you can "take a whole lane" they say ride to the right as safe as practical or something to that effect....

laws/rules of the road must be different in texas than cali... cuz i've NEVER heard of taking the middle of the lane as being legal...?????? haven't read it here... or on other forums... of course... i'm open to reading it if you provide links! cuz gawd knows... i don't know ALL the rules... but i know "I'M" not riding down the middle of the road and getting myself killed!!!!!!!!!
