    As bicycle commuter I have found and GDOT confirmed there are
    several metro Atlanta jurisdictions who do not know the traffic laws
    for bicycles (you are a vehicle with full privileges to your lane
    and you lane position is dictated by road and traffic conditions and
    riding on the sidewalk is technically illegal). Depending on where
    you live you will periodically be given a ticket by one of the local
    morons in blue and have to waste a day in court clearly your name.
    It is funny to watch the prosecutor's reaction when you plead Not
    Guilty and can produce the relevant parts of the statute proving the
    ticket is bogus.<br>
