I know, right? I saw one guy today who could barely keep himself in a ginormous wide bike lane - it's at least 6 feet wide! and was wandering all over it. It's possible he'd never been on a bike before, and was overcorrecting like mad, but this road is still open to cars and the speed limit is 50. If he's really so new to it, pedaling around the neighborhood is probably safer AND he wouldn't be making other riders go halfway across the traffic lane to pass him.

The other thing, for all you folks out there who have a bit more experience - if there are a lot of other cyclists around, especially passing you, don't hug the fog line if there's a wide bike lane! I'm trying to keep my distance and you're making me ride smack in the middle of the traffic lane!
