What's are the rules in CA regarding cyclists a) riding 3-4 abreast and b) cyclists riding in automobile lanes? Maybe cops should start ticketing cyclists who break the rules.

If there is no bike lane or clear shoulder, bicycles can ride on the road.
And you have to give them the minimum of 3' room when overtaking.
Maybe you should get ticketed for not knowing that.

Yeah, if you don't see anything inconsiderate or self-absorbed about a recreational bike team using PCH en masse during rush hour...
If you phrase it as "others", like the UCLA bike team is "society" performing some essential duty, and "your", singular, like I'm some sort of misanthrope Grinch alone up on Mount Crumpet, esoterically going to work on a weekday morning...
"Society" hates group Lancers' fucking guts, full stop. "Society" is trying to drive to work on PCH, not group-Lance-impede "society" on its way to pay 10.5% state income tax to help subsidize UCLA.

Super bonus "drive where you live", Northers for GWS:
California, along with most other states that have vast metropolitan areas, fvcked up big time by not investing in mass transit.
What about cyclists who ride outside of a clear bike lane. Happens all the time. Plenty of room in the bike lane and they are riding in the middle of the road, side by side so they can talk to their buddy.
Cyclists should be ticketed a lot more often. In Southern California, they are some of the most egregious offenders when it comes to breaking traffic laws. Constantly blowing stop signs, stop lights, not yielding to pedestrians, ect....

I wasn't saying to just automatically ticket cyclists. I was initially wondering what the road rules were for bicycles.
I 100% support people riding bikes and giving bikes room. What I don't support is the aggressive moves people make on their bikes to claim their territory and to prove a point.
It also drives me crazy when bikes ride 3-4 wide in a travel lane and don't allow cars to pass. No two people driving cars would be allowed to drive side-by-side in a single lane of traffic just so they can chat while driving. The general rule is, if you're moving slower than the prevailing traffic, move over and let the traffic pass.
If I bring this suit, I will seek injunctive relief, attorney's fees, statutory damages, compensatory damages (including consequential damages), and punitive damages. If I obtain a judgment, I will act vigorously to enforce it, and to this end I will record a judgment lien against any real property that you own in whole or in part anywhere in California; if the judgment remains unpaid, I will foreclose on each lien until it is paid in full.
Are you sure about that? More than cars?jkb said:
How about we FIRST start ticketiing cars who don't give bicycles room, sit in the left lane on the freeway when not passing, don't use turn signals or roll through stop signs?
Nobody got killed by a cyclist rolling through a stop sign that I know of.
To demand bicycles to come to a complete stop at stop signs is as ridiculous as requiring cars to use parking brakes at stop signs.
The whole anti-bike movement is petty AF.
I'm scared to death or traffic. I try to ride just before dawn. I know I have the right of way in many situations, but I also know it just takes one person having a bad day to kill me.
I think Gdaddy said it before, "Pedestrians have the right of way, but they should still look both ways while crossing the street."
There is no reason to be riding three or four abreast on a busy street during rush hour. What kind of a cyclist enjoys riding in heavy traffic anyway?? I'll take an empty canyon any day.

I rarely ever ride on the road, coastal Southern California is the suckiest place to be a roadie.

I remember that post. Weren't you supposed to meet up with him for some reason and then he got all butthurt when you cancelled but had his personal info.?
Simple solution. Construct bike lines/sharrows (I like that more as a combo of sh*t and sparrow but I digress) but place a respective annual tax on bicycle sales and registration just like you have for cars. And also hold all bicyclists to traffic laws that cars have to obey with the same level of fines.
I make sure to allow both bicyclists and motorcyclists as much room as possible on the road because I have no desire to see them get injured or worse but there are times when they are complete idiots and put themselves in self-destructive situations. Cars obviously do the same and worse but don't have anywhere near the same level of exposure.
The 1%/99% ratio is apt and I understand the rebellion against society and the car but don't be an ass about it. If you can't maintain the flow of traffic, you are a hazard and should not be on the road. No different than the asses going 55 mph in the fast lane on the freeway.
