When you take a walk or ride a bike on a highway the law dictates that you must serve yourself up for potential slaughter to inattentive, drunk, or stoned automobile drivers that you will never see coming behind you. I choose to break the law continually. When I walk, if there is no sidewalk, I walk facing traffic. If I ride my bike, I do the same and pull off to the side (grassy part) of the road if something or someone doesn't look safe coming at me. The extremely wide bike and jog path along route 1 from Bethany Beach to Dewey Beach should be the safest around here but riders are continually run over, even there. The law for walkers, joggers and bicycle riders is bass akwards in my opinion. I'll just have to pay the fines for using my God given common sense if I get a ticket.
