bike lane. Just because a stripe exists somewhere on the side of the road does not mean that you can safely pass. As of June this year, you cannot legally pass a bike without three feet of clearance, minimum. On a bridge like that, it’s totally unsafe to pass anyway. The dude honking in a case like this was likely the aggressive instigator, although he may have not realized that, and did not necessarily deserve a beat-down. Clearly, everybody needs to chill a bit. I’m just pointing out that occupying a lane, in some situations, like a blind curve or bridge, is the correct thing to do per California’s motor vehicle code, and not a display of aggression.

Electoral Guidance I would have appreciated an article of recommendations from the Bohemian editorial team for the current election. The Press Democrat had a few recommendations, as did the San Francisco Chronicle. As the leading liberal journal in the North Bay, your input on the election was missed. Please do so for the big election in November.
