ahh, buuut! 

) When reasonably necessary to avoid hazardous conditions including, but not 
limited to, fixed or moving objects,
  parked or moving vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, animals, surface hazards or 
other conditions that make continued
  operation along the right curb or edge unsafe or to avoid unsafe operation in 
a lane on the roadway that is too narrow
  for a bicycle and vehicle to travel safely side by side.

to avoid hazardous conditions of being overtaken agressively on a road that is 
too narrow, you ride in the middle of hte lane.  In oregon, bicycles have full 
use of lane.  The edge of the road is also always full of debre and glass, so.. 
we can and do ride in the middle of the road, and if you don't like it, move 
out.

Yea well, keep in mind, in some states, like Oregon, By law, bicyclist have 
full use of the right hand lane.  In other words, by law, we are SUPPOSE to 
ride in the middle of the lane and you ARE suppose to just sit behind us till 
you can find a proper place to pass.

Oh, I am more often behind some cyclist in my car than in 
front of some cars on my bike . No use honking, he has 
nowhere to get off the road. The drop off side is downhill 
so he is not obstructing traffic there where you can brush

Well, this is definitely unseasonable weather, everyone is 
talking about it.

Just playing around with the blog, it is harder for me to 
figure out how they implemented stuff than it would be to 
write the code from scratch. I am back to the standard 
interface as it takes larger photos without distorting or 
hiding them than the others I have tried so far.

That is just a subdivision street, the only difference is 
that up here the scenery is a bit prettier.

The road to town is a nightmare, two narrow lanes, no 
shoulders, a bank on one side, and a drop on the other, not 
to mention the 1/4 mile 200 foot climb from the apartment 
and the dumb helmet law in town. If you do not time it right 
you get bumper to bumper traffic too, all of them mad 
because there is no way to pass the bicycle.

Thanks for you comments, Ken.

Good you've got the weather to get out & ride. Looks like some nice roads
