re: Bicycle Expenditures with Some Context
Bicyclists know the risks and shoulder them each time they take to the road. You're right, being legal doesn't necessarily make it prudent, but you're wrong about it being unreasonable. It's perfectly reasonable for a bicyclist to ride in motor vehicle lanes when they are, legally, the same as a motor vehicle. What's unreasonable is the motorists who not only ignore the great responsibility they have by simply being behind the wheel of a car, but also endanger others (bicyclists, themselves and other motorists) by impatiently "shussing" (didn't you mean "schussing"? Does that mean you deserve to get run over, too, Alice?) around bicyclists when there's no room to schuss. I see far more idiots behind the wheel than I do on a bike seat.
