I don't know if it's legal in my state but my state is pretty hostile to cyclists in general. Or, neutral may be the better term. I keep my place in line and I can *tell* the cars around me are like "wtf is this guy doing? does he think he's a road vehicle?" (I AM!)

I played about an hour of World and it didn't feel like it was for me... But the fact that you're into it sure is making me want to re-evaluate that.
