It seems that lots of governments are noticing that more people want to move around on bikes than before. Some are putting in facilities. Some are starting to enforce laws. It's almost shocking here in NYC to see a few cyclists stop at red lights. That's a new thing.

Cycling against traffic causes more injuries than all other cycling violations combined. And it's rampant here. So many people think it's perfectly OK. Law enforcement has started to give citations to cyclists, but I wish they would just stop doing that except for wrong-way cycling. Get the word out. Maybe it will happen one day. Hey, a person can dream.

NYC is a pretty lawless place. The mass of pedestrians moves like flowing water, in all directions, wherever and whenever possible. A red light means don't walk or cycle if someone with right of way is coming. But if no one is coming, go right ahead. This is fine with me as long as people are considerate, they are too often not. My approach is to stop at red lights and wait and look. When my movement disrupts no one else's movement, I proceed. I even make sure not to make anyone nervous.
