“You know what else I saw on my half-hour commute to the Slate offices? At least 30 cars idling in the bike lane for unspecified reasons—hazard lights on—forcing me to maintain forward momentum by jackknifing into the busy thoroughfare.”

    Fuck the cities, too. They’ve kept these laws knowing that cycling infrastructure is insufficient and that the laws are poorly enforced. If the city can’t provide safe infrastructure for cyclists, they shouldn’t be outlawing reasonable actions to stay safe (by all means, ticket anyone cycling aggressively on the side walk, but not just for being there).
