Traffic in the Bike Lane from OB to Point Loma

Love Russ' channel. I'm all about Party Pace as well.

They are not the most confident of riders. When I come up to some one going slower than me on a narrow lane, I just chill behind them. Happens on 5th a lot. Sometimes on the OB bikeway when full in OB proper. Everyone has different skills and making space for those who are not as confident, skilled, aware, etc., is important. Totally agree that bike lanes should be wide enough for ALL bikes, including full Bakfiets, to pass or be passed comfortably. But until then, I try to smile and relax.

That was my sense, too, which is why I didn't get too bent about it. Like most things, I think this points to a problem with design more than the fault of anyone using the road.

I recently got a regular bicycle to supplement my electric motorcycle, and I did explicitly avoid e-bikes precisely because I wanted exercise, and an e-bike would be mostly redundant of my electric motorcycle. I've learned that acceleration and hills are murder, with even very minor grades having a huge impact on perceived effort, but I can maintain a fairly high cruising speed on flats. I managed to catch up to a recumbent cyclist, and I think the issues I have with acceleration and hills are exacerbated on recumbent bikes. I could've passed, but I decided to hang back a bit, and sure enough he managed to pull away once he was able to reach cruising speed, as his cruising speed was faster than mine. I don't know why a bit of patience and common sense are lacking.

This is a nice bike lane. But you don't have a bell? In the Netherlands it is common to use a bell and people move over, even if the lane is narrow

[@RidingBikesinSanDiego]

On the bike I was riding, alas, I don't have a bell. I also didn't want to jockey by them shortly after they passed me. We usually say "on your left" when we intend to pass (but many people don't do that, either). We're not a sophisticated bike culture out there...

Lessons to be learned (or not) by every cyclist. My biggest complaint of cyclists is when they pass on a bike path, then jump the road crossing without pushing the button for the riders they just passed. I mean, I'm all for you trying to kill yourself running a red, but could you at least be a little considerate of others? I suppose this is an oxymoron, tho.
