VBEG LOL ;) Cheers All those women should take the lane. |

Again: Most of the women cyclists killed that year in London were at the curb, and were run over when the lorry started up and turned across their path. Most were run over by the rear wheels. If they had been behind the truck, that wouldn't have happened. But some people still pretend the curb side of a large vehicle is safer. Weird, isn't it? -- - Frank Krygowski |

If you're gonna run red lights, **** happens. Every day I see
bicyclists run red lights, stop signs, etc., without even slowing down. It really "amuses" me when they blow past me at a red light where I am already stopped with my bike. I am not sure why some people think that traffic laws don't apply to them when they get on a bike. Do they drive a car the same way? |

Do they drive a car the same way? I run stop signs ALL of the time. But I do so when there is no traffic and it is stupid to stop. When you accelerate a bicycle you are using up human energy of which there is a limited amount. Traffic planners almost never make the slightest adjustments for that. |

Do they drive a car the same way? Watching some drivers blow stop signs or red lights, I think the answer is yes they do. Cheers |
