some turn on the other side,,is all about momentum
yes we need to deal with city streets, we are lucky berkeley have a extensive network of bicycle friendlly streets (bike boulevars) but we still need to cross a few avenues
personally i don't think the people on their fancy Dotcom movils were Hunking for danny's butt, i like to think they were doing it because they were impresse.
wait for the light and cross the street like any other "Truck",,,regain momentum is a pain in the A^^
