The police are holding back on enforcement for bicyclists because... the bike cops want us for themselves? ticketing us for going 18 in a school zone doesn't yield much fine revenue? because of our vast political powers? Good lord, do they even care if they make sense?

I encouraged Mitch Henck to ask Noble Wray about that the next time he was on Mitch’s show, but he never did. Odd that.

Looking down the "bicycle citations" vs. "vehicle operator citations" it's hard not to notice the driver citations seem to run at least 2:1 higher than the bike citations. Sure would like to see totals on those. The few where bike citations are higher are not surprising. At Univ Ave and N Randall (3:2) a biker turning from the Univ Ave bike lane onto Randall has to get across 4 lanes of car traffic and a bike lane. E. Gorham and N. Butler (4:1) calls for going across two lanes (assuming a left turn by the bike towards the capital). So much for us crazy bikers causing all these accidents. -------------Patrick Lenon > From: [email protected] > Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 13:29:43 -0500 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Bikies] Interactive map of accidents in Madison > > http://host.madison.com/ct/news/local/city-life/where-are-madison-s-most-dangerous-places-for-bike-car/article_4b381884-1a63-11e3-998e-001a4bcf887a.html > > -Ian > _______________________________________________ > Bikies mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org >
