All the fun of being treated like a cyclist without the fun of going for a bike ride.

I had an interesting experience while driving around doing errands on Friday. It was interesting enough that I blogged about it. It gave me a good opportunity to be a PAL while driving.

If you’re curious about the PAL Ambassador program, come check us out! It is a program done by BikeArlington and WABA to make the streets of Arlington County safer. It is also a heck of a lot of fun.

See you out there.

There are definitely a lot of angry, over-the-top people out there on the roads.

I’ve seen you and the PAL trailer a couple times on the MVT. On one occasion, you were riding up the bike bridge over the GW Parkway, just to the north of the airport. The trailer looked heavy, with all that gear inside.

I read the blog post. I was curious what you meant by this: “I…chose the correct lane for the speed which I was traveling.”

I think that means he was forced to drive on the shoulder…

Is confusion about this issue just an East Coast phenomenon?

CA/NJ rules:
the correct lane = always left lane
the speed which I was traveling = faster than everyone else
