And a response to Bob's article by Tom Held in the Milw Journal Sentinel: http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/lifestyle/35966269.html I do tend to agree with Held's contention that as bicyclists become more common on the street, drivers actually tend to behave better. Bicyclists are not seen as "the other" if your neighbor, boss, girlfriend, or poker buddy also uses a bike to get around. And yes, there is research to back this up. As the number of transportation bicyclists grows in a city (or pedestrians), the number of crashes and injuries grows, but at a substantially smaller rate, so the average safety for each bicyclist (or pedestrian) is higher.
