... For what it's worth, my thought on filtering forward is that I will move ahead in line so that I will make the next signal and no further. I feel that...
I also used to think of getting on a bike as taking sides in a fight. To a certain extent, I still feel like I am entering a war zone when I head out into ...

This discussion of filtering forward has included considerable ideology, and some unwarranted comparisons with motor traffic. It is true that in Europe...

... Thank you. I will look over what you have provided so far, but at this instant, I don't yet see the relevance to claims that adding roadway width reduces...
Ken... Have you ever considered the following argument for WOLs? It is based on the premise that there is a traffic principle that slower vehicles have an...
... I'm fascinated by this requirement, since cyclists generally aren't required to use mirrors, but yes, it's true. Personal anecdote: one time, after...
... Why is that so hard to believe? If half of the cyclists moved further left (right on this side of pond) and thus out of the path of the drunken motorists,...
... I don't think all places have a hard and fast number at 5. I think many have a more appropriate, loose description of conditions. The description also must...
Is there a consensus on the definition of a WOL (Wide Outside Lane)? I expand the acronym to stress my point. To have an outside lane suggests the presence of...

50% of a vanishingly small number or rate (overtaking collisions) is a yet smaller number or rate asymptotic to zero. Without reliable numbers (not rates that...

This list is great. I'm very impressed by the insightful and well-written responses. Very interesting. Thank you very much. And it's so nice to be in a...
... I'm pretty confident that using what data exist, it would be found that the rate of overtaking collisions would be higher on narrow lanes. That said, the...

I have not previously been compelled to respond to CG messages -- until now. Among the more interesting themes is the series on loop detectors, which I...

... Ken, Do you have any idea why are you the only cyclist I am aware of who appears to be blind to the rather obvious and significant benefits of extra...
I am inclined to agree with the majority of Ken's rebuttal regarding the significance of Steven's disagreement with my earlier comments. Delay is an...
... I do. Never is an awfully long time and Ken never said never. In fact, he was very explicit in stating that it to be his "belief bicyclist advocacy should...
... There is an outside lane, even on a two lane road (or actually two outside lanes, one for each direction). They just happen to be the same as the inside...
... Let's say that we stopped discriminating between bicyclist and motorist for a moment. Now the question could be phrased as: "Should we advocate that...
... I'm not confident. So I would request, until you do use the data and present that analysis a little more formally, would you please refrain from claiming...
