Cycling 1:45:39 [3] 21.06 mi (5:01 / mi)
Bike to and from work today. On my way to work I stopped in downtown Columbia for a meeting of cycling advocates led a visiting mayor. Then the group did a short ride on the local trails. For the most part, I did not agree with how they were riding because they were riding on sidewalks and crossing streets at crosswalks. This was because many riders are not comfortable riding on the road. But we were riding along side streets with hardly any traffic. We should have been on those streets instead of the sidewalk. I think a cyclist has a right to the road just as much as cars and we should take that right. Of course a cyclist needs to obey the rules of the road and I usually do but will take advantage of my bike to get around cars safely when I can. I peeled off the ride at about half way and continued on to work.
