It’s state law to give cyclists at least 3 feet of space.

Just look at the speed that the RV was going! The driver was given a $500 ticket for almost killing 30 cyclists. Insane that they’re even allowed to drive after that.

      It’s not a car lane, it’s a road lane, and the maximum speed limit is 45mph. Bicycles have just as much right to road lanes as cars in most cases.

      If someone is anxious driving 45mph next to people riding 15-25mph, perhaps they should slow down or move over until they no longer feel anxious.

      So we should raise our pitchforks at the everyday normal people who were riding totally legally along the right side of the lane, not more than two abreast, not holding up more than 5 vehicles, when a lunatic in a >5 ton RV decided it would be fine to pass with less than a mirrors width of space at 45 mph?

      I’d get screamed at about getting on the sidewalk, where it is illegal to ride your bike, by folks with that exact opinion.
