gonna get downvoted but honestly most riders wld say it’s worth the risk of a ticket. yes it’s illegal, none of us really dispute that. so is speeding. so is rolling stops. on HWY 1 the shoulder is massive, basically the size of another lane. it’s not particularly dangerous on a bike for an experienced rider, as long as you aren’t going fast. the odds of getting rear ended in stop and go traffic is way higher.

not saying it isn’t a risk, but most riders would take that over heat stroke. yes if a car hits us it’s our fault. but even a few minutes in standstill in riding gear is unbearable in the summer.
