re: [OT] bicycles

[Vic Maslanka <vjmvjmvjm@xxxxxxxxx>]

According to Texas state law:

"' 551.101. Rights and Duties

(a) A person operating a bicycle has the rights and duties applicable
to a driver operating a vehicle under this subtitle, unless:

(1) a provision of this chapter alters a right or duty; or

(2) a right or duty applicable to a driver operating a vehicle cannot
by its nature apply to a person operating a bicycle.

(b) A parent of a child or a guardian of a ward may not knowingly
permit the child or ward to violate this subtitle.

Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, ' 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1995."

So, those bicyclists have the same rights to use the road as Bimmer
drivers, SUV drivers, pickup drivers, and drivers of Cadillacs with
cattle horns on the hood.
