You guys have carried this disagreement all over this post. I think bane's point is that even though it's perfectly legal to ride a bike wherever a car can go (which is not true in some cases like highways and visa-versa like biketrails), it may just not be a good idea.

I know when I ride I purposely try to avoid roads that have poor space for bikes. I don't feel safe and I don't want a distracted driver running me off the road. It took a couple near misses for me to learn that lesson, but I follow it and my rides are much more pleasant as a result.

Basically. But DanBC obviously wants to push some kind of agenda to the point of absurdity.

Well you're also not being particularly pleasant in the exchange. Maybe you should go cool off or ride a bike or something to see things from his perspective.

I get where you're coming from and what you're advocating, but your presentation needs a lot of work.
