Greetings!  This is my first post, so I hope it works.

I am a walker and a car driver.  I don't ride a bike, so I've
always wondered WHY, when there is a nice, wide, marked bike
lane available, do so many cyclists drive precicely on the
white line separating the bike lane from the driving lane?

It makes it a real pain to pass these folks without scaring them,
hitting them, exposing them to the gush of air from a passing vehicle
and possibly causing a crash, etc.  There is three feet of paved
roadway for their use - why not use it?  I'm continually perplexed.

Nancy
