What part of the Bicyclists' Rights Triad does your "Abe Simpson"
trolling ID (which - for those of our valued readers who may have
just hopped aboard - did that unprovoked attack on it on this list a
while back) not understand?

BICYCLISTS' RIGHTS TRIAD:


*************************
BICYCLIST'S CODE OF CONDUCT -


CYCLISTS SHALL ride in the same direction as the other
vehicles on their side of the road.

CYCLISTS SHALL obey traffic laws, including waiting at
red lights at all times regardless of convenience.

CYCLISTS SHALL not move sideways without first seeing
that there's no overtaking traffic that will be
surprised. If you use a rear-view mirror, remember it
is not a substitute for knowing when to turn your
head.

CYCLISTS SHALL at night, use at least a headlight and
rear reflector. A taillight is recommended in
addition, but there are no substitutes for a headlight
and rear reflector.

CYCLISTS SHALL note that the above items are a partial
list, to correct just the more common errors. When in
doubt, ask, "What would I do if I were driving any
other vehicle?"


*************************
MOTORIST'S CODE OF CONDUCT REGARDING BICYCLES -


MOTORISTS SHALL scan the roads for all potential
objects, not just big ones such as cars.

MOTORISTS SHALL when entering a road, guard against
underestimating the speed of a bicycle.

MOTORISTS SHALL not automatically overtake in the same
lane just because the vehicle they want to overtake is
a bicycle. Cyclists are very often able to share their
space with you as a courtesy, but this shall not be
abused.

MOTORISTS SHALL save their horn for emergencies and
rural greetings. If they have something to say about a
cyclist's driving, there are ways to say it other than
by road rage.

MOTORISTS SHALL note that the above items are a
partial list, to correct just the more common errors.
When in doubt, ask, "What would I do if I were
interacting with any other vehicle"?


*************************
BICYCLIST'S BILL OF RIGHTS AND DUTIES -


A bicycle is a vehicle. Therefore, a bicyclist has the
same rights and duties as any other vehicle operator.
