Default I'm ready to challenge Big Brother over Taking the Lane

AM I AS A CYCLIST ENTITLED TO THE FULL LANE OF TRAFFIC?

You know, here in Florida --and some other states-- bicycles are
vehicles, and thus any discrimination against them would be against
the law. When you ride the right side of the lane as "practical as
possible," cars often harass you and make it impossible for you to
have a safe environment. This point is particularly clear for TAKING
THE LANE,

TWO VEHICLES DO NOT FIT ON THE SAME LANE.

This lawyer's website says this much...

"Bike riders are generally required to ride in the streets, and they
are entitled to a full lane."

http://www.sgglaw.com/PracticeAreas/Bike-Accidents.asp

The case is very similar to the Declaration of Indepence's "All Men
are created Equal...," but then discrimination went on for nearly 200
years.

Are we on the verge of the next Civil Rights Movement?

Default Me the next Rosa Parks?

(from the Legal Forum)

adjuster jack:
What amuses me about this civil rights board is that it attracts
loonies who post rants and diatribes about perceived inequalities
without having any idea what they are talking about. ... Where it
lists the limitations and restrictions on bicycle operators. Isn't it
amazing that the bicycle statute appears within the Motor Vehicle
statute where traffic laws are applied equally to motor vehicle
operators as the are to bicycle riders. You still want to be equal?
Will you stop at every stop light? Will you stop at every stop sign?
Ride at the normal speed of traffic? Stay off the sidewalk? If traffic
backs up will you patiently sit in the lane till the traffic moves
again?

***

Loonies are people too. They have the right to ride bike in peace and
not be harassed/threatened by motor vehicles. Loonies go to church and
nobody messes with them. Loonies run this country and they get away
with it.

Actually, we don't have to comply with the same regulations because
they are stupid when applied to bikes.

No, we don't have a License to Kill. No, we don't drive phone in hand.
No, we don't harass anyone.

We do NOT belong on the sidewalk, and we have NO place on the road
either.

Despite what the Florida law says or doesn't say, many drivers act
like we don't belong there. And the police is totally indifferent to
the issue, as they are concentrated on handing speeding tickets, which
is where the revenue is.

It's a jungle however you put it.

Do we have to pick sides or is it just assumed that people will veer one
way or the other.
What about those who may prefer splinters up thier arse?
Or those who have no wish to be lumped in with others?

solipsistic's mother's way out and insist that everyone else is marching
out of step.

Yes.

However, those of us on the side that "Comandante Banana" aka "King of
the Apes" aka "Don Quixote" is a troll are correct.

You may be one step ahead in Evolution, but one way or another you are
in this mess. You created this, right?

But also British troops and your own population are at risk for
defending "freedom," right?

Evolution? -- it's just entropy for optimists ;-)


I'll have you know that us Brits were giving freedom to people across
the planet long before we chucked out a bunch of religious nuts that
washed up ashore elsewhere. Not that most (if not all) of those people
were ever asked if the freedom they'd been given was the one they wanted
but they got it anyway.

We gave those free people the bicycle* and look what happened?
Used 'em in wars and uprisings against us!
No gratitude, no pleasing some people.




*knew there was some way to get a bike in somewhere.

Gee, even those who tough criminals who landed in Australia were more
cultivated.

But hey, religious nuts can be quite a dangerous bunch.

I say sometimes, half jokingly, that the Independence (both in North
and South America) was a mistake. Today we would have a huge Pan
American-European Union, and everybody happy and civilized.
