Well that would be true except for these bridges in ou fair city do not have much of a rise to them. So, I always let the downhill guy have his fun and let him/her by. On the I-5 bridge, the incline is not bad at all and the downhill guy can get going quite fast. I've never even had to unclip to let the downhill guy go and I really appreciate it when people let me whiz by coming down. -----Original Message----- From: Shane Young [mailto:shane.-@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 9:02 AM Cc: ob-@topica.com Subject: Re: [OBRA Chat] Sellwood Bridge Etiquette =========================================================== Need to find the right school to fit your needs CollegeInformation.info has already found it.

I?ve always thought that the cyclist who has already crested the middle of the bridge (regardless of direction) and is heading down has the right of way and the uphill cyclist should slow/stop and move as close to the rail as possible. What do you think? Is there a written or an unwritten rule? Nate The unwritten rule that I use (and have heard/been taught) is to always yeild to the rider who is approaching downhill. If you are 'ascending' the bridge, then you yield out of courtesy to the rider on the descent.
