[SDCBC] The Poway Grade

[John Eldon]

I concur with Tom and Brian. Significantly, when ACSC (AAA) Westways
magazine published my recent letter to the editor, the one line that was
edited out cited the right of a biyclist to take the lane for his/her own
safety. The month before they had actually written favorably about LCIs and
the sort of cyclist training all of us generally support. I suspect there is
a wide range of knowledge and opinion among their editors and directors, and
I plan to continue to use my meager leverage as a 32-year member.

I agree, motorists and cyclists alike need to understand
that full use of the lane by cyclists is safe, legal,
appropriate, recommended by DMV, etc. in many situations.
I'd like to see a marketing/ad campaing akin to the anti-smoking
campaign of the '90s.
