Ready for a paradigm shift?
Many motorists are allowed to operate legally with two and even three
people abreast - seated side-by-side in the front or sometimes in the
back seats of their vehicles. The disparity between the space allowed
for motorists to use - even when they are traveling alone/one
a-breast - but not considered allowable for bicyclists seems to be
appropriate to challenge.
I'm looking for a nice light WIDE bicycle.
