I think it is a matter of experience : we learn to ride bikes at 3yo and are expected to bike to school at 11/12yo on our own.
It sounds like the vehicle overtaking was a situation we would have recognized and adapted to ( the other vehicle probably was taking a left turn ).
- maxerickson 12y agoAs far as I understand, the vehicle had no legal right to be on the path. "Our country is great for cycling as long as you understand the situations where a vehicle traveling at speed might enter the bike paths." is a little different than "Our country is great for cycling." I wouldn't even try to argue that the first statement there is in any way fair, but I simply don't understand your response here.
- the-dude 12y agoI am not so sure : a bike path with a different color doesn't mean a vehicle is prohibited from entering it. It depends on the line separating the two ( solid vs intermittent ).
- maxerickson 12y agoThere was a physical median. "A separate bike path", not a bike lane. It crossed over using a driveway to a house along the road.
- the-dude 12y agoYou must be right. But please understand we are not afraid of our lives every day. Our children are trusted to take part of traffic on their own from about 10/12yo because we trained them about every day. It is about experience in watching eachother. Not about who is right.
