There is a big hoopla going on here (Colorado) that has so many people on both ends of the spectrum. It is the discussion of having cyclist on the road verses the sidewalk. In Colorado, it is illegal to ride on the sidewalk unless it is a designated bicycle route. As well, the cars must give the cyclist three feet when they pass them. Most of the arguments are coming from those that are against cyclist claiming they do not obey the traffic laws or pay taxes for the roads. Being a cyclist myself, I often have these discussions (or just one liners) with passing cars. They shout at me âget on the sidewalk du-mas!â I shout back âget on a treadmill you pudgy doughnut!â This may not the best way to have a conversation, however, I think it gets the point across.

Are there any other areas that have this problem? Is it really a problem?

Share the road, I am.

I am putting my bets on cars.
You know, cycles can't stand even the lighest hit, while cars are pretty armored...
I don't think cycles could win this battle.


It uh, isn't a battle in that sense. Cars would destroy. Read the thread instead of the title.

I suppose he won't read this anyway :/
