[OrRando] Behavior on the Road

Not BS it's SBS.  Side-By-Side.  Or is that Super BS?

         No, apparently we just ride 3 and 4 abreast.  Probably on  roads with no cars whatsoever, but it was pointed out to me after I posted it to  Portland Velo as well, a few days ago.  Us?  Paceline?   Snicker.
  
 The deal is, a PowWow with local cycling organizations and Law  Enforcement is being contemplated, and you may get a call.  I tried to  explain that rando isn't like other cycling organizations, but there you have  it.

Did you mean to post this to Portland Velo? I spend a lot of    time observing randos on the road...this doesn't sound like them at all. I've    never had to tell someone they have too many folks in a paceline, blowing stop    signs and they are behaving badly.... however I have had to put more light or    reflective gear on a few who couldn't see themselves from behind.

This    is why a rando is a rando. They do this to have nothing to do with cycling    groups who are like this.

     Hi All,
      
     There was an column in this past week's      Oregonian Washington County Weekly, quoting an Irate Good      Citizen.

     So, let's try to not be like that group the      Irate Good Citizen is describing.  Not that there are 20-40 of us all      together, but riding more than 2 abreast is an observed      behavior.
      
     Some other Worthy and Upright Citizen might      take it upon his or herself to "teach those cyclists a lesson", and I'd      rather it not be any of us they decide need lessoning.  Or any other      cyclist, for that matter.
      
     Lynne "almost hit by two separate drivers      rolling stops and not looking today.  But who's counting?"      F
