This is a good point. I wholeheartedly agree with the noodle idea because, if it gives my wife a bit more confidence and a little less worry about riding in traffic, then I'm all for it. I tell her all the time that life is going to slip by her pretty fast if she spends all her time fretting about it.

In my opinion...a stupid and dangerous idea. Aside from the rage already referenced above, what about cyclists that want to pass the 'noodler? You'd be forcing the passing cyclist into the road and potential traffic. This is both inconsiderate and potentially very dangerous.
