    If they are using the entire lane without affording a motorist the opportunity to pass (and there is a shoulder available for them to use), then I write them a ticket if their speed is more than 15 miles below the posted speed limit. They are making themselves a hazard by "driving" too slowly.

    If they want the same rights as a motorized vehicle they will be treated the same as a motorized vehicle. Too many cyclists are discourteous to motor vehicles, believing they only have to obey those laws they want to (such as running traffic lights - love writing those tickets!)

    • Out of curiosity, I cycle to workout most days and I don't carry ID (or anything more than an ipod for that matter). What would happen if I ran a light and got caught? (this would most likely happen as a result of a light not changing because the bicycle doesn't have enough metal mass to trigger them)

    • This is in Oregon in case that is relevant.

    • Thank you!!! For reminding cyclists that they too must obey the rules of the road! I am tired of hearing them complain about cars when they don't respect the same rules!
