Were Pennsylvania cycling laws somehow repealed for this particular event? Do the organizers of “Pedal Pittsburgh” support Pennsylvania Law? Or is it that we’re just seeing the somewhat (note: that “somewhat” doesn’t mean always or every) common “I am above the law” mindset of Pgh. cyclists riding in packs? Or is it that cyclists are not aware of the law? I draw your attention to section 3301(e) of: PENNSYLVANIA BICYCLE LAWS Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes Which can be downloaded here in a .pdf http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CFAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shippd.org%2Fpa%2520titles%2FPAbikelaws.pdf&ei=B4IeUM3cFOP86gHQoICwBQ&usg=AFQjCNEu6ae0wxh15QJIn-kB9SyXXTef6g&sig2=N5tF_1ELzi7eAKWmuBj1xg “(e) Limitation on riding abreast. -- Persons riding pedalcycles upon a roadway shall not ride more than two abreast, except on paths or parts of roadways set aside for the exclusive use of pedalcycles.” “Pedal Pittsburgh” should have made this obvious to all participants. If they didn’t, then I openly call them on their lack of responsibility and suggest a change for the next event that requires participants to sign something stating that they are aware of Pennsylvania cycling laws. ------------------- Following 6 and more abreast, and later, seeing 2 full lanes filled, when they are sitting at a traffic light waiting to turn left, certainly makes one wonder. Watching the completed left turn and seeing once again 4 or more abreast, taking up the whole extra wide lane confirms either lack of knowledge or disregard for the law. I don’t mind waiting. I just sit and marvel at amazing lack of common sense. Bikers - - - please rent a clue! Think! This type of behavior endangers everyone on the road.
