Do you think it would be better if they all drove Humvees?
Just think what the air would be like if they all left their bikes home and drove a big ol' honkin' SUV...
Have you ever driven in Boston? The city isn't equipped for cyclists. The streets are insanely narrow, and people park on either side. It's impossible to see them, and they dart out all the time. They also don't follow the rules of traffic, so it creates a clusterfuck. Honestly, it'd be safer if they were in SUVs, but I never said I'd prefer they were driving. We have a very robust public transportation system and are the most famous walking city in the country.
It sounds like law enforcement needs to start writing more tickets to bike riders - or anyone else - who isn't following the rules of the road.
