Default the "Neck"

I live at the very end of MNR in Windermere on Long Island and am an avid cyclist. Flat out you are always supposed to ride WITH traffic. The "bike path" such as it is is worthless for cyclist as walkers and debris are everywhere. That said, cyclists bear the responsibility of hugging the shoulder to allow traffic to pass easily. 99.9% of drivers are very cordial and pass with plenty of room. Nor sure I can give that same % to cyclists of which there is an embarrassing % who seem to think they own the road.
The Neck has been crumbling for years now and driving it past Jojo's onto Long Island is an adventure. Not sure who is responsible for fixing it but some party needs to step up.
