Unf...I love Bill's video that he put together. Unfortunately, many in Salem do not understand what the sharrows really mean. At first I was following the suggestions in the video but found that I was often eased off the road by the car behind me (especially at the intersections). Now, I signal and pull over to allow cars to pass me on Chemeketa whenever I notice that there is a car behind me. I just don't think that it is safe to follow those arrows unless you are a swift cyclist who can do the posted speed. For those of us who ride at a slower pace, pulling over may slow you down a bit more but you'll get to your destination in one piece and make a lot of motorists less agitated.Melinda Filberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06487775577621699604noreply@blogger.com
