A few were not going fast at all. We were driving in the right lane, and each time had to swerve around each biker.
I don't seem to recall running into bikers (not truly...) on BV or Morse before. Aren't they mandated to take the Multi-Modal paths? Of course going around the roundabouts is challenge enough - but with a bike???
What gives?

The bikers have the exact rights and responsibilities as every car driver. There is also a minimum distance ( I think three feet) that a car driver must allow when they pass a biker. I too recently saw two decked out bikers on Buena Vista as they ran every red light and drove in the car lane when a cart was available. This act did force autos out into the opposing lanes as they passed. This was not good PR for bikers.
