I appreciate the admonitions to drivers about being aware of cyclists. Some of us would love to be able to cycle around town but, for mobility, health, and other reasons, we need to stick with our automobiles.
I would thus like to add a few admonitions to cyclists, for the safety of all of us:
1) Cyclists are required to follow the same laws as drivers, e.g., stopping at red lights and stop signs, riding with the traffic. When cyclists do not stop at lights or signs (which I witness frequently), we drivers must pass them several times on our trip - more dangerous for the cyclist.
I also see cyclists coming toward me in my travel lane; this is especially dangerous when the cyclist is wearing dark clothing and not using a front light.
I appreciated Paul Millman's article. It is refreshing to hear a businessperson call for paid sick time for workers and to support legislative mandates. He is absolutely correct that unless we take some of these measures, we will not be able to attract the educated workforce we need in...
