I am happy riding in the bicycle lane. However if I think that the bicycle lane is not the safest place to ride, I don't need a sign or anything to give me permission to ride in a normal traffic lane. <BR>

The problem with these signs is that they are unnecessary obsticles placed in the middle of an otherwise very rideable and safe bike lane. They force one into the traffic lane for a moment. With them in place, the best place to ride in probably in the traffic lane but without them the bike lane is just fine and allows other traffic to flow more freely.<BR>
