best exercise bikes canada image
1.2.3
I tried riding in the little gutter part of the street but there is so much crap, leaves, glass, etc there that I need to dodge, so I feel like I'm gonna cause an accident. My city is a college city, but it isn't so big and it doesn't have many bike lanes. To get to school I just need to go straight up one street, but this street is very busy during work traffic hours. Do you just ride in the street?
Thanks for all the helpful information!
Answer
Not only do I ride on the "actual street" when there's no bike lane - if conditions exist where the bike lane is not safe - I'll move OUT of that & onto the street. And it's all perfectly LEGAL!
Missouri law states word-for-word... "Every person operating a bicycle or motorized bicycle at less than the posted speed or slower than the flow of traffic upon a street or highway shall ride as near to the right side of the roadway as safe, exercising due care when passing a standing vehicle or one proceeding in the same direction, except when making a left turn, when avoiding hazardous conditions, when the lane is too narrow to share with another vehicle or when on a one-way street. Bicyclists may ride abreast when not impeding other vehicles."
"as near to the right side of the roadway as safe,..." does NOT mean hugging the curb or gutter. As you've found out, the gutter is full of road debris. Riding next to the curb also HIDES you from motorized traffic. ALWAYS ride at least 3 feet away from the curb. ALWAYS go around parked cars leaving 4 to 5 feet of space for the "door zone" should some fool not look first before opening that door.
Do I ride on the street 100% of the time? Damn right I do. I'm on a legal street "vehicle" - in all 50 states, Canada & every country in Europe. Multiple links below. Class starts now.

twinkLe
I prefer cycles or eliptical or stepper that can take 180 lbs and costs less than $200.
If it helps, I live in canada.
Please give me a link with the name.
Answer
A good pair of walking shoes. I recommends New Balance. Get out and exercise (walk, jog, rollerblade, bike, etc!)
in the fresh air. You'll be more apt to stick with it if you're not getting bored with the same machine/view every day.
