Well said.

I'm pretty choosy about when and where I pass, and yeah, the lines painted on the road aren't the biggest factor in my decision.

It is not illegal here to pass on a double solid.

I pass whenever I think I can make it.

If I am riding with others I will wait until we can all make it safely.

Double yellows don't mean shit to me unless I see a cop. If I waited behind all the slow drivers around here I might as well just put the bike up on a stand and pretend I'm going somewhere.

If that's the criteria you go by, you probably pass more than all of us combined.
