"VIGILANTE JUSTICE ON THE FAHY BRIDGE" - That guy must have a death wish. I'm all for "taking the lane", but I sure as hell don't ride in the middle of a lane on a busy road on a bridge if I can't maintain some sort of good speed (he was crawling), especially when there's a nice-looking path on the other side of the barrier where the folks are running. My opinion anyway.

My opinion anyway.

that story was discussed ad nauseam on here when it first broke. as I understand it, the path where folks were running was for pedestrians only, no bikes. iirc, it was too narrow for many handlebars, too. no, it wasn't a great situation but sometimes the DOT doesn't give you much to work with.

I think I'd have walked it over the bridge on the path rather than ride down that road.

^^ I think we beat this to death on commuting news thread. Bridges suggest few good alternate routes. Older drivers know that a large vehicle changing lanes may hide something you do not wish to deal with. They don't change lanes without cause as a fairly solid general rule. So we have a slow cyclist, a large Bus hiding him, a young inexperienced and impatient driver who attempts a blind lane change. Then tries to leave the scene. Hope she wasn't on her cell phone. Even if he had another 10 mph I don't think she'd have avoided hitting him.

It is the sort of traffic mix that does suggest walking the bike across. Getting pedestrians by a wide set of bars might be fun even ding that.
