That's cool. > > It looks like you had better read up on responsibilities and rights of bicycle riders when using the public right of way. It's in the traffic code in your state. On Seattle's Burke-Gilman trail, automobiles crossing the trail always have the right of way and are protected by full size stop signs. If the rider is on his bike, he must stop and yield. If he dismounts, he becomes a pedestrian with the rights of same and I would probably stop for him. Otherwise, I don't stop. BTW, the trail and streets are publicly owned.
And when I am planning a right turn, I get close to the curb to prevent anyone passing me on the right. Remember, when you are mounted, you are a vehicle. RLE > > ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
