How is a bike a danger? It typically weighs 20-30lbs and travels 20-30 mph cf a car that weights 100 times as much, and travles about 2wice as fast Cars are much more dangerious.
Okay, I'd rather be run down by a Huffy than a Honda. You convinced me. Oh wait, that wasn't the point of my original post. It was that one point of slower traffic in a system of faster traffic is a danger.
Bikes can travel near the shoulder and do not obstruct the flow of faster moving traffic.
Maybe, but a lot of streets don't have a shoulder. Please note that I did advocate bike lanes or bike specific routes!
Indeed in stop and go traffic bikes can 'white-line' and are faster than cars.
Again, this has nothing to do with my original post. I thank you for putting a black mark on cyclists by pointing out that they can get places a lot faster by violating the traffic laws. If you want to be on the street, the least you can do is play by the same rules as cars (stay in a lane, stop at lights, don't pass on the sidewalk, etc.)
