I just wanted to say that I thought of you on Wed when I witnessed a near car/bike crash on Live Oak. A The car was legally turning left with the light and was doing everything right, but this woman on a bike was riding on the Left Sidewalk going East and she just plowed through the crosswalk not even stopping. If the driver hadn't seen her at the last minute, there would have been a real tragedy. The woman on the bike Should have been in the road obeying traffic laws with everyone else. I have to say that I've been trying to reason out some sort of balance between the bike lane vs not argument lately, and that incident right there just Cemented my support of your views! So thank you for your efforts on all of this.

Thanks, Maggie. That's why I approach it this way... true safety.
But as they say, "No good deed goes unpunished."
