I actually recommended community service putting up "share the road signs" on 30a and some time riding a bike on the bike path and on 30a...just to get a feel for it.
Who knows maybe he could be the next US Masters National Champion. Stranger things have happened.
Oh...and losing his right to carry a gun. That is my wish list.
First of all, I don't know anyone personally that actually watches Pro Cycling. Next, the law as I knew it was:
"(5)(a) Any person operating a bicycle upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing shall ride as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway except under any of the following situations:
1. When overtaking and passing another bicycle or vehicle proceeding in the same direction.
2. When preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.
3. When reasonably necessary to avoid any condition, including, but not limited to, a fixed or moving object, parked or moving vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, animal, surface hazard, or substandard-width lane, that makes it unsafe to continue along the right-hand curb or edge. For the purposes of this subsection, a "substandard-width lane" is a lane that is too narrow for a bicycle and another vehicle to travel safely side by side within the lane.
(b) Any person operating a bicycle upon a one-way highway with two or more marked traffic lanes may ride as near the left-hand curb or edge of such roadway as practicable.
(6) Persons riding bicycles upon a roadway may not ride more than two abreast except on paths or parts of roadways set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles. Persons riding two abreast may not impede traffic when traveling at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing and shall ride within a single lane. "
When it changed, I don't know, so what "Share the road" actually means is a mystery, as are quite a few catch phrases somebody dreams up. Laws are made by people, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Unfortunately, they are passed often times and nobody knows about it. Laws can be changed if needed.
