    I wonder, if you rode on this section and were hit by a car, if the 'not recommended' sign would count against you in any court case? "M'Lud, the plaintiff was clearly the author of his own misfortune, as he deliberately and recklessly ignored a sign put there by the authorities which was plainly intended to protect him from this kind of incident. I move the case be dismissed."
    The "not recommended" would be because it would not be a particularly pleasant experience - "dangerous for cyclists" would be more accurate if this is the case but I'm not convinced DC adds danger, as it mainly adds discomfort due to higher traffic speeds. If a motorist is blind enough not to be able to see a cyclist cycling normally then they should not be driving.
