[kathydwells]

It has been discussed here. (http://www.sowal.com/bb/showthread.php?t=6020&highlight=bike+path) and here. (http://www.sowal.com/bb/showthread.php?t=12971&highlight=bike+path)

Your observation is noted, and that is the multi-use path on the side of 30A. Get your own road bike and try riding on that path, before you blame other road-bikers for not using it. ;-)

Thank you ,

Give me a freakin break. http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/beatdeadhorse.gif and check the FL street laws. They have just as much right on the road as you. Yes they don't always come to a complete stop, don't signal when turning but then again I doubt you obey all the traffic laws while operating you car/suv/van.

[skinny water]

No thanks I would rather do oher things with my time than ride a bike.
but some guys like the way that seat feels i guess.

Play nice everyone.

[beachmouse]

FL laws say no more than two wide.

However, I doubt Lance rode on the bike path when he's been down here.

No one has as many rights as me. This is my world, and I'm just letting you all live in it.

No more Ms. Nice Guy. I'm gonna put a cow-catcher on the front of my Prius and scoop up bikers, rollerskaters, small children with puppies, and landscaper men with weedeaters and blowers. Then I'm gonna leave all the bikes, rollerskates, puppies, and small equipment on private beach property, overnight, while I go to a longstanding local establishment and complain about the service.

Did I miss any threads?

After a nice ride (on the path) this morning, I must say some of those bikers have no business putting on tight spandex.:sick:

See I always thought they used spandex to show off. :biggrin:

Interesting, looks like a feminine hygiene product.

Mine have cellulite-hiding, loose-fitting shorts over them.

You're welcome.

You got a lot of them. Add these and we're done:

Seawalls
Redfish Village beach access
Naturewalk beach club

SJ is right. I made the same point in the first thread on this subject. Read it there. It explains why serious road bike riders are choosing to exercise their legal right to ride on 30A. These men and women are not pansies. Unless you've ridden 100 miles in one day against the wind, you won't have a clue what I'm talking about. BTDT.

Here are three questions:

1-Is the Search function dead? Has the "redundent thread detector algorithm" broken down?

2-Why is this issue so important? Don't we have bigger fish to fry?

3-What's the big rush? Why all the Type A attitudes, anyway? After all, we live AT THE BEACH. The speed limit on much of 30A is 35, with more than a little bit 25. You can't get anywhere in a hurry in July. Relax, adopt a 3rd world pace, or move back to Atlanta. (Just a figure of speech. No offense intended to actual Atlantans who are temporarily or permanently in possession of relaxed 30A attitudes.)

I was gonna ask what the next post would be.....

I'm tired of all this bickering. I'm getting on my bike and riding down to Bud and Alley's for a beer. :funn:

Better pull out the fat tire beach bike for that ride. may even need the training wheels :biggrin:

[NoHall]

Seawalls
Redfish Village beach access
Naturewalk beach club

I'm completely in favor of all of those. Or completely against them. But I can see both sides.

That totally made my day! :rolling: :rolling: :rolling: :rolling: :rolling:
CHEERS

Glad I could do something good today. Would appreciate it if you would go bail me out of the "Items left on the beach overnight" thread. I was warned to stay out of these "hot-button" discussions, but I've been home sick this week and I finished Harry Potter already.

Isn't that supposed to be SeaWall.com? (I was counting on you having a sense of humor about my smarta$$ post. You did not disappoint.)

I'm certainly in no hurry... In fact, I may start riding my kayak on the bike path. :D

I think we should just have free bikes for everyone and then we save money,gas,enviroment and no one can haul ass over 35 unless they are really breaking a sweat and in this heat!

About 2 hours ago I saw about 30 or more bicyclists using both southbound lanes of Peachtree Street at 10th. The drivers behind them (including me) didn't seem to mind. It was a beautiful evening, and they were enjoying it.

Me, too. Had a yummy dinner at Doc Chey's.:D

35 on a bike, in the heat, into the wind in, on the flats in FL would be very impressive :yikes:

remember, even you're not a fan of bikers on 30a, they are entitled by law to 3 feet of clearance.

Anybody ever watch "The Adventures of Pete and Pete" on Nick in the early '90s? Pete's superhero had a land canoe. I Googled it with no luck...

I don't have a problem with posters new or old posting something that has been discussed before. Geeze you'd have to do a search before every post. My problem was the somebody with under 10 posts (heck at the time I think under 5) posting some hateful, arrogant, self serving, sanctimonious crap like skinny water did.

[scooterbug44]

I think 30A needs a shoulder at all locations to accommodate bikers who prefer the road to the bike path. My main beef with them on the roads is that there isn't room to safely give them enough space when there is oncoming traffic. A shoulder would easily solve the problem.

Amen.

You know, I kept trying to think if there was an applicable adjective you'd left out. I think you got them all. As far as I'm concerned, crap is code for equine exhaust.

:lolabove: SJ and RO: I love seeing your buttons pushed so easily!!! :funn: :wave: you know, truthfully, that's how people get hurt - riding their bicycles in the road... with all kinds of traffic and big trucks and drunk drivers and blue hairs, mostly out of towners who are looking everywhere but the road... :floor:



just kidding. sort of.
