hmmm well i think we could discuss any one of those points at length!
i'll pick this one for startes tho:
Quote:
A.02 Speed Reduction: Where traffic speeds are low, typically 20 mph or less, cyclists can safely mix with motor vehicles without any cycle-specific infrastructure.
on my commute, the biggest dangers come when there is little differential speed between myself and the traffic.
assuming the lane is wide enough if the car can get past at >10mph relative to me its not usually a problem... it's when i'm doing 18mph vs a car doing 20mph say there's a prolonged period available to get squished.
