Gas prices are so high

[Dav]

15 is probably a bit far.

 

Up to 4 is fine

up to 10 is probably OK for an experianced cyclist

More is for fanatics

Yeah I could probably do 10 miles each way every now and then. But doing it everyday would probably kill me

[Dav]

probably, though doing 20 miles less in your car will save you some fuel and get you fit so it is all worth it.

You heard about the guys riding London with helmet cameras? Seems to be getting a lot of attention now as they are being used as evidence against dangerous drivers.

Just youtubed some... seen a couple of vids of a guy riding a s!@#$%^&* or something in the traffic and basically ride between the car lanes... And some comments were saying that this is perfectly legal... is it really legal down there (UK) ? Here we can do that with bicycles... but not with anything that has an engine. Even with a bicycle, you shouldn't zigzag around traffic and should only go between 2 lanes if you need to at an intersection (i.e. right lane turns right, you need to go straight)

[Dav]

it is legal in the UK, some areas have special lanes down the middle of traffic but its usually accepted to p!@#$%^&* traffic on the left.

 

zigzaging is fround upon but not illegal as far as i know.

I have not seen these chaps on the road but it does

not surprise me.

Strictly speaking' date=' a person zigzagging in and out of

traffic would fall foul of section 3 of the Road Traffic

Act 1988. At least I think it is section 3. Anyway, it

could be viewed as careless and inconsiderate driving.

Depending on the facts, the same could equally apply

to a cyclist.

 

In any event, it's just plain stupid [img']http://www.ssforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/blum.gif[/img]

thanks for the info

 

I personally see very few people sig zagging though, usually people just passing traffic in the more appropriate places (which in many cases is right down the middle, coming up to roundabouts where I am the cycle lane is actually down the middle of the 2 lanes of cars) but you willalways get the idiots...
