The woman in Kentucky is a good example of where targeted bike infrastructure would benefit all by eliminating conflict.
I have to agree... and again I declare:
we create roads for less than well trained drivers... and remind them of their responsibilities all the time... with markers, signs, paint, curbs islands and too many traffic signals... so what is wrong with doing the same for cyclists... especially when said cyclists would otherwise be forced to share the same darn motoring based infrastructure, albeit at speeds that are only going to irritate the already riled motorists.
