Don't know what is responsible for this recent run of Advocacy Awareness on your part @genec, but ... just saying. Your recent sidewalk/sidepath adoption. Well in most areas that puts you in cross-walks more often than a more ... vehicular cyclist would be. Bad. Crosswalks are no joke. 6000 peds killed vs 818 cyclists killed is not simply about the relative percentages of each! Right turn on Red ... gotta watch your 9:00 like the potential pothole filling that you are. A 10 year old just does not have that kind of paranoia built up. Yet. You aren't any older (well, not much) than I am and I am far from ready to take to the sidepaths to get away from the mouthbreathers. That just brings on its own set of limitations. Racing to beat a stale green light the other day I hit 24mph in downtown traffic. That kind of speed on any MUP is flat out irresponsible and I am not ready to give up the benefits of that kind of exertion to my cardio-pulmonary system. YMMV.
