Share the road message

My only concern is people would try to pass 3 feet to the right of me.

JUST KIDDING!!!

You’re right though… it would be nice if we got better publicity for the law.

I have gotten to know all the WMATA bus drivers along my commute. They haven’t given me grief in a year or more… It is the Dillons Commuter buses that care very little for my life…. or the lives of anyone around them. I call the company and report them every time they drive carelessly. They’re nice enough to put the phone number on most of the buses.

We’d definitely have to adjust that message for local audiences – I don’t even want to know how big people would assume 1.5 meters is.

So what you’re saying is that the picture would have an SUV, the driver would be talking on the phone, the arrow would be pointing down and the bike would be underneath?

My most sincere apologies for that comment. I will regret posting it for moments… (or not).

Love,

Pete

I’ve gotten to know all the WMATA bus drivers on my morning commute, but there is only one bus. On the way home, there are just too many on Columbia Pike. (The OmniRide driver I usually see on the way home knows me, though.)

I wish we had these kind of signs here – a little hard to miss by drivers.

Except that isn’t the sharing — cyclist on the corner of the road and sharing laterally — that gives drivers “problems”. They have problems sharing sequentially.

I’m still not sure that giving these people a kitten is a good idea.

You obviously haven’t seen the kind of damage a kitten can do.
