Following the Rules...

Many towns have bike lanes, and as the above video shows (in a slightly dramatic re-enactment) that the lanes do not always have the safety of cyclists in mind.  Many times I have noticed that you can't even see where the lanes begin and end do to fading paint. If I can't see it I'm sure that neither can a car!  While I do try to stay in bike lanes as much as possible, this guy is correct, sometimes to do so would provide more injury for myself then avoiding them.
