Kkimball, absolutely correct. I’m a cyclist and while driving on Buena Vista crossing 466A, told a cyclist who blew through a red light that he gives cyclists a bad name and should follow the rules of the road. He gave me the finger. That says volumns about him as a person and not cyclists in general.

Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine There is a lot of misinformation out there but this is not. Here is what I put together: I already gave you the rule pedestrians, walkers and runners are required to use sidewalks, if available. I think I have a good understanding and wanted to confirm my review. Please let me know if anything I say is wrong. Vehicle is a cart, car, motorcycle or moped. Roadway is from yellow line to white line. White line to curb is paved shoulder or berm. There are no bike lanes where I live so I ride on paved berm or shoulder. Vehicles must operate within roadways and not on the paved shoulder or berm. Pedestrians, walkers and runners are not allowed on the road or paved shoulder if sidewalk available. Carts are prohibited from operating on sidewalks. Bikes may operate on sidewalks, roadways or on paved shoulders unless required to only use a marked bike lane.. Please share the road and use common sense. Nothing in the law should be relied on when lives are at stake. Avoid the risk of collision and, if you are not sure, assume there is a risk. |

Vehicles are required to give a minimum space of three feet when passing a cyclist. A 6' wide car, a 3' wide cyclist, and a 3' space would mean a lane width of 12' at a bare minimum to be safe. The lanes on Morse appear to be 11'.

1. Bicycles can claim the entire lane - I provided the Statute that supports that 2. Bicycles can ride two abreast - I provided the Statute that supports that 3. Pedestrians may walk on the shoulder - I provided 316.130(4) which supports that Pedestrians must use the sidewalk of one exists. If one does not exist then pedestrians must use the shoulder.

There is a clown who rides his bike on the sidewalk up and down pinellas. Gets annoyed by walkers.

316.083 paragraphs (2) and (3): (2) The driver of a vehicle overtaking a bicycle or other nonmotorized vehicle or an electric bicycle occupying the same travel lane must pass the bicycle or other nonmotorized vehicle or electric bicycle at a safe distance of not less than 3 feet or, if such movement cannot be safely accomplished, must remain at a safe distance behind the bicycle or other nonmotorized vehicle or electric bicycle until the driver can safely pass at a distance of not less than 3 feet and must safely clear the overtaken bicycle or other nonmotorized vehicle or electric bicycle.

BTW, you and I are on the same side in this argument. I just couldn't find your references because I was looking in the wrong place. |

Because you aren't the one who is going to get injured if you are wrong.

Don't know that. If I'm wrong I may run head-on into a tree while the cyclist is unscathed.
