Does anyone like mimes? People aren't signing up for mime school, but
they are going for bikes in a big way. You may as well resign
yourself to having to share the road with ever-increasing numbers of
cyclists.

Bicycles are road hazards. to be paved over and eliminated, you cant hear
them see them and they are always in the road. 2 lane roads and bicycles
are a accident waiting to happen
black bikes black clothing and dim or no lights (squish)

One of my favorite pictures is of a keen and talented violinist, Albert
Einstein, riding his bicycle at Princeton.

moving� - A. Einstein, more famous for some work on relativity and other
physics than his beloved violin playing

That's my favorite one. It's so true, and so much in favor of change.

I'm all for that, but personally I think any time I pass a car while
on my bicycle, and that car is not turning or stopped for a signal or
obstruction or car in front (etc), that driver should be required to
immediately turn in his license. Especially if it's on an upslope.
