My "G spot" is around 65 or 70. Don't have all that many years left so wanna see what it is I'm riding by.

 

Full respect for that IronAss !

you are so right. I got a reminder yesterday when someone in a minivan in the middle lane next to me straddled a torn off truck tire and it went flying behind them.

that's another thing I thought of. I also try to ride in the tire tracks of the vehicle in front of me, figuring if their is road kill or something in the road they will probably try to straddle it and I won't be sitting in the middle of the lane waiting to either run over something or get knocked off the bike by a torn truck tire...

BTW, my sister-in-law lives In G'town. i remember about 30 years ago when I was a kid, it was about 35 miles from Austin....now, you can't tell where Austin ends and Georgetown begins!

 

same here on long island NY. I stay in the left lane, in part for the only broadsided from one side plus keeps me out of the way of the idiots merging on. We do the same in a group, except when 3 lanes then we take the middle lane as group.

 

For me it's the posted speed limit plus 10%. That seems to be the breaking point for the LEO's around here.
