These quotes could confirm the fears of potential commuters and further incense drivers: “like a video game, except you can get killed.” “Everyone is your enemy,” he said. “You don’t want to get killed, and you don’t want to kill anyone.”

I'm glad the Times did they article & brought up some of the potential hazards. I just wish there was more of a positive bent. Bike commuters can't be anything but a plus for the city. It's quieter, takes up less space, doesn't pollute and makes for a healthier population.

I suspect the fact that cars bring in revenue for the city (parking, tickets, meters, tolls, etc.). Bikes don't bring in that kind of money. That will always be a factor in city planning.
