Small piece of legal information for Bicyclists in CT

Ryan at Shifting Gears - Bass | Bike | Blog, having recently moved to Hartford from Pittsburgh, had asked about what CT's law on bicycle riding was. Thankfully, last year El Presidente de China (& I linked to it then) had an incident with a 'legal auto scholar' that inspired him to post the actual law, Connecticut General Statutes Section 14-286a,

Every person riding a bicycle, as defined by section 14-286, upon the traveled portion of a highway shall be granted all of the rights and shall be subject to all of the duties applicable to the driver of any vehicle subject to the requirements of the statutes relating to motor vehicles

Thanks, El Presidente! Having just had a few neighborly encounters with motorists who were very considerate to me, I'd like to think that we can all share the road.
