it is completely legal for me to slow down traffic in the situations where I ride in the middle of the lane
Legal perhaps, but rude and gives bicycling a bad reputation.

Same in Texas; in the driver's handbook a bicyclist legally has the same rights as a car driver (and responsibilities to obey laws--but that's another discussion) and its clearly spelled out that in cases where the road is very dangerous the cyclist can take the lane. In all cases, the cyclist is legal to take 1/3rd of a lane to prevent sideswipes from cars and being forced into ditches or running into the curb. We're working on better and more bike lanes and separated lanes but Texans are slow to build them!Here in Vancouver it's legal and encouraged by the city to ride in the middle of the lane when it's dangerous by the side as long as cars aren't moving quickly. People quite often die riding close to parked cars when they run into an opening door. I'm sorry to hear that Colorado has such poor traffic laws that would require you to cycle so dangerously.
Oil that is, Black Gold, Texas tea!Texans are slow to build them
Hello what is a light Charger? I have 2 easy motion bike ,the 650b neo jumper and the neo volt sport.Hopefully by riding your new EVO Street you'll lose weight...if that is one your goals.![]()
I've gone 64 miles on a NEO Jumper with 1900 ft. of climbing in 3 hrs 55 min., granted riding efficiently in ECO mode, but I doubt if most folks will ride for more than a couple of hours on their ebikes, easily doable on our EVO bikes. If so, I would recommend taking our light charger, stopping for lunch, charging the battery and rolling on to further enjoy the day!![]()
