Seems to me the law says you can take the lane for certain reasons, but if there is traffic behind you, wanting to ride two abreast is not a valid reason for taking the lane. The only question is...

We have almost the same origin and destination. You've already received good advice, so I'll offer to ride in with you some day. I'm sure others here might join you too.

Damn, I was looking forward to telling Norment that if his bill really was about public safety and not just about bike hate, he should add motor vehicles to it. Impound any car that runs a stop....

My latest purchase is an adult trailer-trike for my daughter. It ships from the UK and has been delayed for several months. The shipping squeeze is really bad.

The cyclist survived and posted about it on Nextdoor:

Hi, I’m an occupational therapy...

Everyone who commented has been careful to acknowledge that fact.

I also use a combined bag/phone holder. The phone goes inside behind a clear cover so it is protected from rain, and I can swipe the screen right through the plastic, though I had to cut a small hole...

From what you describe, it sounds like the pedestrian had the right-of-way and you were in the wrong. Not sure why you would think otherwise. That said, you were assaulted and your property damaged,...

The county plans to renovate the pond (again) and if the beavers aren't gone by then, they have to be killed - state law doesn't allow relocation. So this is a good thing for your spirit animal. They...

Here it is.

New Leading Pedestrian Intervals Installed as Part of Vision Zero Initiative

In order to increase traffic safety, City of Alexandria staff recently installed 17...

That's state law. It applies to all jurisdictions, except where it has specifically added signs forbidding bikes on a specific sidewalk.

Ah, I get your point now.

It's possible that the traffic engineers know something you don't, or that they're being overzealous.

Not sure what you mean, but a double yellow most definitely provides useful information. It says that if you begin to pass another vehicle across it, you will probably not have enough visibility to...

Wait, slow down - where does 14 feet come from?

That's actually the law that was amended. The last sentence, "Persons riding two abreast shall not impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, shall move into a single file formation as...

New question - Virginia law still requires a single rider to stay to the right unless necessary for, say turning left, or when it is unsafe not to take the lane. That would still apply, I think. Only...

I will never forget the strange feeling of climbing a somewhat steep hill and being passed by a jogger.

Sorry, I should have explained. The speed limit (20 mph) that applies to e-bikes, not to the trail.

A neighbor asked me to post that he was riding an eBike on the Custis Trail today and was yelled at by a cyclist in an intimidating manner. Apparently it was about hin using an eBike on the trail,...

Hmm. If it's legal, what's he protesting?

You picked the wrong guy today.

Me passing a pedestrian on a sidewalk.

Pedestrian: (politely moves over, but then tells me) "Bikes aren't allowed on sidewalks."

Me: "Yes, they are. I've...

Isn't the thread title the summary?

This is cool - there's a bill moving in the General Assembly that would forbid passing a car that is stopped at a crosswalk to allow someone to cross. I see that dangerous situation often. The only...
