MDOT opposes repeal of mandatory shoulder use by cyclists for safety reasons? That's a laugh. Statistics show that one of the leading causes of bike accidents is DEBRIS. Debris is found almost exclusively on shoulders. Requiring cyclists to ride where there is a known hazard is CRIMINAL. Almost no bike accidents occur because a cyclist was riding continuously in a regular travel lane. The dangers are at intersections (with other roads/driveways) and when cyclists suddenly 'swerve' (in the words of the motorist) into the travel lane from the shoulder (to avoid DEBRIS, parked cars, etc.).
