What gets me is the bikers who ride on the opposite side of the road. They seem to not care that they are supposed to ride on the RIGHT side of the road; they only want to make sure that they can SEE what is coming toward them! Yet, if I am correct, bike riders (and any other RIDERS) are to ride on the RIGHT side of the road ALL OVER THE USA!! WALKERS are the only ones who are to face the oncoming traffic, by walking on the LEFT side of the road! Right?

I used to be an avid cyclist when I was a flatlander. Although the law allowed me to ride in the lane, survival and courtesy–since I was the slower traffic–dictated I rode as far to the right as possible. Here, that rule of thumb is even more important to follow because of the discourteous, aggressive, and plain unthinking drivers Colorado Springs and the surrounding area have. Sure I’m one heck of a passive-aggressive as well–but there comes a point when pride should give way to survival.

Yes you absolutely can dream. (And PS - It’s Meridian St, if I recall correctly from my tenure there.)
