It is very disconcerting to me as a driver to see someone coming down the street toward me on a bicycle. There is a blonde woman around the Tamarind Grove area that does this frequently. Someone is going to hit her eventually. You may think it's okay because the traffic cops don't stop you, but they very seldom stop any cyclists. They have stated that they have neither the time nor the resources to go after cyclists.
But you can be sure if you are in an accident and riding on the wrong side of the road, the fault will be yours. You are putting motorists in danger.
