Many law enforcement officers either lack the knowledge of the statutes as they pertain to bicycle operators or have a bias towards us.<br /><br />If this makes you feel good, like riding in a debris filled bicycle lane, corralled out of the way of "I pay gas taxes for the road and you don't" motorists, I wish you the very best. FL will have a Mandatory Bike Lane use (when present)starting September 1, 2010. (FL HB971)<br /><br />FWIW, I get closer passes in a bike lane than if I control the lane, where I belong. Three foot is a minimum based on a 30 mph overtaking vehicle. 4 foot for 40 mph, 6 foot for 60 mph, etc. These minimums do not even take into consideration the size of overtaking vehicle. <br /><br />An 18 wheeler or large delivery truck will have to give more because of the draft and vacuum created during overtaking.Rodneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544533566379202664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515004711733293525.post-38060455826895555562010-08-03T19:31:03.748-04:002010-08-03T19:31:03.748-04:00Three foot laws and Far to Right (FTR) laws need t...Three foot laws and Far to Right (FTR) laws need to be abolished.<br /><br />The three foot law, is nothing more than a nice, warm and fuzzy feeling for cyclists. The truth is many motorists have NO IDEA about such statutes (or the other rules of the road that apply to vehicles, whether animal, human, or motor propelled).<br /><br />Many of the so-called-cyclists that are involved in crashes do not possess the aptitude to safely operate a bicycle. I'm not saying they're not capable, just lacking the required knowledge/skill that will allow them ride conflict-free.<br /><br />Education is very important in regards to operating on the roads, no matter which mode of conveyance you choose. <i>If the roads are designed for vehicle travel, why marginalize yourself and other cyclists?</i><br /><br />A good explanation of stress free and conflict free riding , based on FL statutes, can be found at http://cyclingsavvy.org/hows-my-driving/Rodneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544533566379202664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515004711733293525.post-32938773495807798772010-05-24T15:24:51.843-04:002010-05-24T15:24:51.843-04:00Hmm, I was hoping that there would be more to the ...Hmm, I was hoping that there would be more to the story here than just a feature on one in-fill neighborhood.
