^^Ah Shifty, we seem to have different definitions of BS. The hit-and-run victim was last year on Franklin. My wife and I have tried several times to get EPD to take reports of attacks on cyclists (us) by car-critters to no avail. How about that lethal "dooring" last Fall? Witnesses concurred that the motorist knocked the cyclist to the ground with her door; he landed on his head (fatal). The responding officer said there was not enough damage to the door for that to have caused the cyclist's death! You can find it in the Register Guard. Our local sheriffs aren't exactly covering themselves in glory either. Last year a homeless man was riding on Prairie Road when he was literally run over. In spite of the fact that under state law a motorist, when passing a cyclist, must give a cyclist room to fall down and still not be hit, there wasn't even a citation issued.

If you feel that our local law enforcement do a good job of protecting vulnerable users, I'd love to hear your reasons. However, bear in mind that in Eugene over the past two years 60% of all roadway deaths have been either cyclists or pedestrians (evenly split).

While the late, great Molly Ivans said she wasn't so much anti-gun as pro-knife, I am not so much pro-bike as anti-car.
