Can't argue with that.
Would you set up a lawn chair inside the fog line of a busy highway and watch YouTube vids on your phone as traffic passes inches away. No? Why not? Would that be dangerous? Basically the same thing as biking there.
Actually, I learned here recently that the lawn chair would actually be safer OUTSIDE the fog line, because traffic would need to make an effort to pass said aluminum and Naugahyde outdoor furniture, and not be able to just lazily whiz right past. It's counter-intuitive, I know, but supposedly it works like a charm.
However I must admit I find your lawn chair analogy a bit flawed analytically, since a lawn chair does not have pedals. Or wheels.
