essentially bailing across the road to tuck into a parking lot 40' away (and essentially continuous parking lots before you get there). This particular spot has a blind tee (view obstructed by a twisted live oak) and people often charge through looking right into the face a cyclist, which makes being ready to bail to the other side of the road the best escape. Like I said, this is "downtown" hamlet in front of the JP and speed limit is aggressively enforced.
I can think of another place where everybody, and I mean everybody rides a bike on the wrong side shoulder of the access road for about 100 yds to connect two bike greenways separated by Brooke Army Medical Center. A third spot I can think of is crossing a 55 mph hwy to turn left at a topping hill and sweeping turn, where evaluating traffic and making the crossing while you can and riding 50' the wrong way on the shoulder is smarter than turning left in the middle of the sweeping turn On Monday, July 6, 2015 at 10:54:20 AM UTC-5, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > On 07/06/2015 11:25 AM, Ron Mc wrote: > > totally dependent on location, traffic patterns, anticipated and > > immediate choices, but I will often swing over to the wrong side of > > the road in anticipation of making a left turn - now looks like a good > > time to do it as opposed to later having to stop up there at the > > intersection.
