Which is what i said. Unless you can fly at will or dematerialize, if you salmon, you are running the risk of coming head-on into another cyclist--one who is who is Not breaking the law.

We both understand this.

In your case, you would graciously give way--wonderful. But when you come here encouraging salmoning, or when you salmon and encourage it by example, you are potentially training people who not to ride---people who don't know how to ride in the first place,

I have encountered more than a few wrong-way cyclists, and so far None of them have pulled off the road and stopped to let me pass safely. You need to work harder on the "Right way to Wrong-Way" cycle program, or stop teaching others it is right to cycle the wrong way. ( ) (Don't take all this too seriously .... but think about it. You never know who will be coming the other way. I am sure most fo the wrong-way riders I have encountered didn't have a clue or had never met another cyclist head-on .... which means they thought it was perfectly safe, too ....)
