Geoff, excellent letter--I TOTALLY agree! Motorists have enough animosity towards cyclists without such deliberate flaunting of traffic law and discourteous
riding.
Thanks for posting this Kay and Bill. I've written so many responses and deleted them all.
We have so much work to do to gain the respect of motorist - but it has to start with each one of us. I am as guilty as the next when it comes to obeying laws that are inconveninent. But in all honesty - I need to remember that I represent the cycling community at large when I ride.
I promise to do better.
I've attached a link to Bicycling Magazine's new column about cycling and the laws of the road. I would encourage each of you to read it, know what the laws are, and remember that we are all accountable to the cycling community.
