How about my 91 year old mother, post pace-maker surgery, who was run down by a cyclist using the sidewalk. She was lucky not to be killed, or worse for a senior, ending up with a broken hip and bedridden. And the biker barely registered that he could have killed her. Fortunately she was only badly bruised, but that does not excuse the dangerous, illegal behavior. I have been hit by bikers, who seem to work under the impression that it was my fault that I didn't get out of the way as they rode me down. Key term: sideWALK - not sideRIDE. Sidewalk bikers do damage, cause injuries and deaths and break the law. C J Kelly - 47th St ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
