The bill in play in Oregon has apparently been put on hold until the next legislation session; no bill has yet been introduced in California.Garlynn Woodsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400252855809671287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18251485.post-72246855658007171402009-02-25T15:56:00.000-08:002009-02-25T15:56:00.000-08:00Wow, this is about the smartest thing I can think ...Wow, this is about the smartest thing I can think of to improve Bicycle/Car/Pedestrian relations.<BR/><BR/>As a bicyclist, it can be very frustrating to have to come to a complete stop every two blocks for nobody, when just slowing down and looking is all that's necessary. This is because much energy is expended to get the bike going, and it's a real waste of momentum to have to brake all the time when there's a clear view of cross-traffic, and there is none.<BR/><BR/>I hope Portland will adopt this, if only to stop the constant complaining that bikers "don't follow the rules". The fact is that the rules are designed for cars, not bikes (which can stop on a dime).<BR/><BR/>Now that I live in the Bay area, I also hope we'll get that down here, too.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08280541901224789176noreply@blogger.com
