I thought that only happened to cyclists. Welcome to the I don't like you because you're breathing my air club. I ride either on the shoulder or as far to the right as possible, i.e. about 12 inches from the side of the road. There are those who believe if you're not in a cage, cyclists term for cars, then you have no rights at all. I was discussing this one time with an anti cyclist who said I should not have access to the roads because cyclists do not pay taxes for road repairs. I told him that one Texas law says otherwise, cyclists have as much right to the road as everyone else, and two I do pay those taxes because I have a truck and my wife has a car. I'm also a homeowner and I'm sure some of the county and city taxes I pay do cover road maintenance/repair.

To add to my previous post, I only ask because my family has some land where the validity of the easement is somewhat in dispute

Hey phddan,

This road doesn't happen to be just inside Bell County where Williamson County ends does it?
