I'm just saying, bikes are on the road and are supposed to abide by the same laws. But we assume they've all taken real driver's education, so they must know the laws they are required to follow.
Yesterday, I came across 2 cyclists on a road that has a somewhat new, large bike lane. Plenty of room for my truck and their bikes. But instead of riding single file so they fit in their lane, they want to be able to gab, so they ride beside each other. That puts the inside bike into my lane. They wanted a lane and got it. Stop using mine and then demanding I give you 3 feet in order to pass.
Obviously, not talking to Kevin. He seems to be a responsible and courteous cyclist. But there are a ton of dumb ones that make it harder on guys like Kevin.
My tax idea was only brought up because I was trying to think of alternative ways to get the $150 million. I can see a lot of people balking at that kind of money, so maybe it could be helped along by figuring out alternative ways to fund it.
