I'm a cyclist and a driver. I use bike lanes and paths where I can but legally you are entitled to use the left hand lane but ride more than 2 wide. You must follow all road rules.

I see the frustration as a Rider too. I use all the stop and turning hand signals, wear bright clothes and have lights. No lycra here though lol.

Other riders that don't follow annoy me but paying 2 regos taxes etc I should be able to use the road but believe that bikes cars and pedestrians should all be separated. There for I choose to use paths 90% of the time. People are idiots though I have had people run me into the gutter. Throw full and empty cans bottles fruit at me. litt cigarettes.

safer to plan a ride that reduces these risks. Current training for 135km leg of bay in a day with aim for full 250km next year.

I see both sides like I say. Shame the tools that throw stuff and abuse me don't understand I know they frustrated too.
