Not saying bikes should be outlawed. In fact I believe laws should be relaxed to allow them on certain sidewalks. We have sidewalks that are barely used by pedestrians. It would be much safer for cyclists to legally use sidewalks when no pedestrans are present.They just don't belong on major avenues or pick a few and allow them only there. But cycling advocates want protected lanes on virtually every major street. It is not true that no one looks out for bikes. It's just that they are difficult to see at night and virtually impossible to se when they are ridden with no lights or reflectors and someone is wearing dark clothing. Reflective clothing should be the law. I cant tell you how many bikes I noticed at the last possible moment by the reflective strips on their sneakers which they probably didn't even realize they were wearing. |
