when I was a student we were taught the motto if it bleeds it leads,this is how the media determines what is important, what gets the most attention. since the 5 bicyclists were killed in Kalamazoo Michigan there have been other horrendous events screaming for our media attention, terrorist attack in Orlando Florida and a toddler attacked by a gator. what of the four surviving injured cyclists? how have they faired?have any succumbed to their injuries?
and what about the driver?was he drunk,on drugs,on the phone? more people are on their bikes now that the weather is nice.drivers need to be aware of our presence on the road as well as the rules that apply to us.Quit honking and yelling at us to get on the sidewalk!
there are big diamond shaped warning signs with a bicycle on it to remind drivers to share the road,give em 3 ft when passing.
