When I drove to Colorado, back around '96, I saw signs on I-76 saying "Trucks keep left", or words to that effect. This is opposite to what we normally see here in NJ, so I asked how come, and the answer I got was that since Colorado allows bicycles on the interstate, the trucks have to stay in the left lane so as not to blow them in the ditch when they pass.

It never occurred to me that bicyclists other than the professional racers would be able to move at highway speeds.

Quoth protege View PostSo, reading what you just quoted...they have to obey the same laws as cars...plus an *additional* set of rules, which are really additional clarifications. They still have to use some sort of signals when stopping or changing direction (like cars), they're supposed to keep to the right (like other slow-moving vehicles), pedestrians still have right-of-way, etc. There are a couple of exceptions, but otherwise, what I posted before is still correct. Oh, and when the law refers to "freeways," they mean the Interstate highway system. Bikes are *allowed,* but only with written permission ahead of time.
If you disagree, it's probably best to agree to disagree. We're dangerously close to fratching here as it is.
