That makes me feel a lot better about taking the lane, but now I feel like less of a rebel which makes me somewhat sad.shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457261745307972374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135991732584450604.post-59325803194011688782009-08-21T16:58:06.291-05:002009-08-21T16:58:06.291-05:00You can't pull those shenanigans in Branson. ...You can't pull those shenanigans in Branson. These tourists will take you down. This is where a friend of mine was hit and put in the hospital. It was 5 lanes of clear pavement except for the lone car that wouldn't yield. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=36.651343,-93.266673&spn=0,359.944253&z=15&layer=c&cbll=36.651368,-93.266909&panoid=vzNUe3E2EKJP5COhm16ezg&cbp=12,115.11,,0,4.95Seanhttp://plasticneon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135991732584450604.post-6882665617886784202009-08-21T16:11:28.147-05:002009-08-21T16:11:28.147-05:00You're not obligated to ride as far right as p...You're not obligated to ride as far right as possible - doing so only invites cars to try to squeeze past. Moving to the left when the lane narrows is the proper (and safest) move, as you've discovered.<br /><br />What the law says is that you "shall ride as near to the right side of the roadway as practicable" with a few exceptions, including "narrow width lanes that make it unsafe to continue along the right-hand edge of the roadway".<br /><br />8-1590-a-3: http://www.kansascyclist.com/kansas_cycling_laws.htmlRandyhttp://www.kansascyclist.com/noreply@blogger.com
