It's "Bike to work Week" in the US (Bike to work day was today). The Washington Post had an article about the conflicts between cars and bikes that was slanted against bikes. The writer kept going back to the "bikers blowing through red lights and stop signs" argument but only briefly touched on the drivers that go out of their way to intimidated and assault bicyclists. -- Christian ------------------------------------- http://404notfound.blogspot.com http://birdofthemoment.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
