BIKE on it. I think Share The Road is the wrong message. Maybe I would see it difefrently if cities used it on the most DIFFICULT riding roads - the narrow, fast, winding roads where there is a real danger of a motorist not seeing a cyclist. Rather, though, these signs seem to be placed on the most popular cycling roads - as though the city is saying, "See...we like bikes...on this road..." It sends a message to motorists that this popular road is where bikes should be. The problem, is that we're allowed on virtually ALL roads... let's put some BMUFL signs or other signage on the crazy roads, the dangerous roads, and see what happens...cities won't because they don't want to recognize our right to use the roads, or recommend those roads for our use. How many roads, open to the public, have you seen where a city says "Oh, that road is too dangerous for Volvos...?" They will say that for bikes, but not cars... that's basically an admission of guilt - that the city hasn't properly prepared the road for use by all lawful, legitimate vehicle operators...
