Can anyone improve on this spanish version of "Please ride on the right side of the street":
Monte por favor a la derecha de la calle.
gracias

Yes, I know when I'm going against the grain and I see your (the general all inclusive "your" is used here as opposed to yours specifically) peevish looks as well and I don't care, I won't bother you when I'm "salmoning" and I won't stop it either.

Please, let us know if/when you're driving a motor vehicle so the rest of us will know who/what to look out for.

Why would you assume I'd drive my car in such a manner when this is a bicycle oriented and centric website?

i've been known to knock 'em down.
Sorry, but i had one of my worst crashes dodging a salmon and i won't be doing that (dodging) again. i take the curb and let 'em sweat the oncoming cars they seem to want so desperately to see.

Salmon in the bike lanes is annoying.
Salmon in the regular road (contra-flow) is not a big deal to me as long as it isn't a main artery. Going the wrong way on a one-way on the residential street in town is pretty much necessary to get anywhere most of the time if you want to get off the arterial roads where all the car traffic is.

I don't think going the wrong way on a one way residential street counts as salmoning. At least it doesn't in my book. I do it pretty frequently. There are a few super narrow residential streets where there isn't even room for a bike and a car, but generally there is plenty of room for a car and two directions of bike traffic.

Just to be clear, which I wasn't before, I only go the wrong way on residential 1-way streets. I might be pretty dumb, but I ain't dumb enough to go the wrong way on two-way streets.
Thing is, there have been plenty of folks on this board frothing at the mouth at the thought of anyone going against the grain, no matter the circumstances. I wish I had the luxury to worry about such trivialities.
Cheers.
