5 Things Cyclists Do That Are Perfectly Legal

These all seem pretty obvious and logical but given the angry driver posts in the comments section of just about any article about cyclists, I'm guessing most drivers may not be aware.

1. Riding Two Abreast In The Roadway

Riding two abreast isn't a bad thing and if you are passing, would you rather pass 10-20 cyclists that are riding single file?

2. Filming You While You Scream At Them

The camera (video recording) is also such a good idea. In a case of your word against theirs, this can help clear up what actually happened.

3. Riding Straight In The Right Turn Lane

4. Leaving The Bike Lane To Use The Left Turn Lane

5. Riding In The Roadway

See detail for all five:

Great article and thanks for the solid responses to questions. Only addition, Even though legally I may be in the right, I will always lose against 2 tons of fast moving steel. Stay safe out there everyone!
