So far, we have a lot of great discussion going. Between the news coverage of cycling related issues (including some threads that start here), many cyclists in my area, and many motorists in the same area, I am not exactly seeing many favors being done for anybody. Even when the local news stations covered the stink over a road they closed to bicycles (which needed to be done, but also a trail needs to appear through there), the coverage made cyclists look arrogant and self centered. Since cycling safely in traffic seems to be a superpower at times, I wonder if we may need to have some education on how to do so, as well as to figure out some of the other issues (such as motorists failing to see and/or expect bicycle traffic). All I know is there is a breakdown somewhere, but am unsure exactly what the bust is.
