I'd like to know peoples feelings on this.
I ride with critical mass totally agree with its policies.
However, i can see the motorists point of view,they have very valid points to make.
Motorized transport[to call it that] seems to prefer that cyclists stick to the inside.This appears to be based on the assumption that a cyclist being narrower than a car leaves enough room for a car to pass then on that lane.
We as cyclists know that isnt really the case because to ride on the extreme left puts in line of drains[sometimes without covers] the kerb ,glass,litter,tin cans, those horrible plastic coke bottles and other road detritus which is the cause of many a puncture, momentary loss of control ,accident,death etc[etc :shock:]
Thoughts?
Can of worms i know, and a big one at that but its a good subject for a Sunday discussion.
