Could you clarify that? In mosst states they have the KRETP or STKR

In most states the bicycle must be as far to the right _in the lane_ as practicable. Bicyclist logic tends to twist the hell out of that word "practicable", though.

That's open to interpretation and conflict is sure to erupt b/ driver and cyclist, where the cyclist has the more to lose.

How many feet would you want b/ a car and you if you were riding a bike?
