After last week's BB meeting, Ben Scott pointed out to me that people don't seem to have any problem with "Buckle Up. It's the Law!"
I wonder if some people find our bumper sticker, "Share the Road. It's the Law!" objectionable because consciously or sub-consciously, they do not believe that cyclists have the same rights as motorists. I wonder if these aren't the same cyclists who will move to the right edge of the road when it's not wide enough to be passed and crash in the ditch rather than to take their lawful place in the lane. What annoys me about such cyclists is that they're training motorists to expect other cyclists to do the same. For me, I'd like the bumper sticker to say, "Please, share the road. It's the law!"
Frank Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles
