Recently, in San Fran, a pedestrin died from injuries, a day
after getting hit by a bicycle. How often does this happen? It's a new one on me. -- Rich |

This is a good case for mandating helmets to pedestrians.

Around here they have made a mixed path --pedestrians, dogs and bikes together-- where I have raised this particular point. I may kill a dog anytime. |

Recently, in San Fran, a pedestrin died from injuries,
a day after getting hit by a bicycle. How often does this happen? It's a new one on me. Read the news. Happens fairly frequently. =v= No it does not. When a friend of mine was killed by a road-raging trucker in San Francisco in the year 2000, an SFPD officer who wasn't even on the scene (James Bosch) butted into an newspaper reporter's interview to blame the deceased and to opine that bicyclists run down pedestrians all the time. So the reporter went through the SFPD's records and found no fatalities (there had been two bicyclist/pedestrian collisions that year, though). =v= The accesible records go back to 1990, and there have been no fatalities between then and now. So, for San Francisco, it appears to be have been 21 years or more since the last time. =v= By way of comparison, San Francisco is the most dangerous city for pedestrians on the West Coast thanks to cars, which kill somebody every 21 *days*. That's not "news," though, so it doesn't get nearly as much media coverage. _Jym_ |

It's a new one on me. Just happened a couple of weeks ago here in Toronto... http://www.torontosun.com/news/colum.../11/10421651-s un.html Interesting story... But the article never goes into the issue if there's a SAFE PLACE for a teen to ride his bike. How can they overlook that? Here 90% of cyclists ride on sidewalks, but some bike lanes are coming. We will see what happens. |
