I have lots of running around to do today after the blog post is done, with checks to deposit, bills to pay, people to catch up on… So there will be as little extraneous verbage as possible in the post today.
A Canuckistani cyclist confirms anti-cyclist bias. Cyclist injured after running red light Intersection protocols apply the most applicable one being to NOT RUN RED LIGHTS! And in most cases like this infrastructure would help if the cyclist could follow traffic signals.
From the UK a cyclist is injured when a car leaves the road. Cyclist injured after car mounts curb in Walker When the motor vehicle takes all the road and a chunk of the sidewalk (pavement in the UK) there isn’t much option for a cyclist to avoid a wreck.
And in VA the last bill in their legislature intended to protect cyclists an other vulnerable users dies a lonely death. Last bicycle tailgating bill dies in Virginia House A simple bill that makes riding the backside of a cyclist as illegal as riding the backside of a farmer on a tractor can’t pass in VA.
A PA bike shop has a special sales area and staff dedicated to the female cyclist, and special events for them as well. Pink Mechanic opens options for female cyclists
And those are all the links that gave me fits today.
