I only escaped (the car actually did glance off of me) because I saw it coming. I stopped about 20 yards beyond where he stopped and could see he was prepped to head in a different direction if I were to challenge him. I need gear to record my rides. Can you recommend appropriate affordable gear??? mberigan at berigan dot comMattsViewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406325115277826041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597030563844330141.post-42172428151427944702009-03-27T10:58:00.000-07:002009-03-27T10:58:00.000-07:00Geisterbahnbesitzer said...

"Nothing will change, riding so far right. 1 meter (3feet?) distance from the right is ok."<BR/><BR/>If the lane is too narrow for a vehicle and bike to safely travel side-by-side within the lane, then ANY position within that lane is okay (and legal). Check your state's "far-to-the-right" law for details.<BR/><BR/>Further left, maybe even left of center in some cases, might be more effective in encouraging overtaking traffic to change lanes to pass.<BR/><BR/>Riding too far right in a narrow lane is an open invitation for close passing.<BR/><BR/>Examples:<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/user/CyclistLoraxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597030563844330141.post-46664340809762091292009-03-26T20:21:00.000-07:002009-03-26T20:21:00.000-07:00Yup.
