Riding Against Traffic
Peggy asked:
I ride a beach cruiser, very slowly. Can’t ride against traffic. I have a trust issue with fast cars driving behind me. I feel more secure If I can see what’s coming.
Answer
Riding against the flow of traffic is unlawful and unsafe. Please see:
This has been asked over and over before..
Not only is riding against traffic unlawful, but very dangerous…
Less time for both you and the other vehicles on the road to react to each other.
Almost on a daily basis I have to yell at other bicycle riders who are riding towards me, while I’m riding in the bicycle lane….
It’s crazy too.. They pull to MY Left heading even further into on coming traffic… How is that “safer”?
Answer: It’s NOT!
