Idiot bicyclists

[SmootSmack]

I don't know what the rules are in Virginia, but here in New York there are times when I'm biking on the sidewalk and then there's a sign that says no cycling so I have no choice but to detour to the side of the road for a bit before heading back to the sidewalk. It's that way in parts of DC as well

Not too much of that in the great land of No. Virginia. Perhaps in some of the cities like Alexandria and Arlington but haven't seen signs like that anywhere really.

As mentioned, there are a bunch of bike trails in the area.

I'm going to comment on this ignorance tomorrow. Right now I'm too tired.

I see...well I still don't see how biking on the shoulder is a problem if they're not even in the way. Maybe a better initial picture would have been more compelling.

now you are gonna knock my photo skills? i guess it's hard to picture the line of 20 or so cars behind me braking to slow down and causing others to swerve out of the way.

i get in the city you ride on the street, they even have lanes for bikes in a lot of places in dc now, but this ain't dc, and this isn't alexandria or arlington either. this is way outside the city on a highway, with a path right next to them, to me the intelegent choice would be the path.

Probably because you're slowing down to take pictures of cyclists who aren't in your way

I've had cops tell me to get off the sidewalk before, so yeah, bikes belong in the road in some states depending on the law.
