Maybe a topic and issue that gets to much air time but I thought this was a decent short article.
And if you lucky enough to live in the fine Commonwealth known as Virginia you only get 2 feet !The laws and rules of the road as they stand are largely sufficient; I would include the clause of "half a lane of space between cyclist and passing car" instead of this largely unenforceable 3-foot business.
I really have no problem with the Idaho stop. Having said that I think having some common sense and situational awareness go a long way. I ride the majority of my time in fairly rural areas so it's not a huge issue.Idaho stops,... meh. I'm still trying to figure out what's so damned difficult about stopping and re-starting. I don't have an issue, it's just part of the ride. (But then, drivers don't like to have to stop either, so maybe it's in the DNA...)
ROFLMA !Yeah, Virginia sucks pond scum, I've seen too much of what others report from living there to even VISIT!
The 2-foot crap IS up in the legislature for amendment to 3 feet; we'll see.........
And the idiots behind wheels will still only give 1 foot or less.
