Plea for sanity

For the inspection of Cycling related articles this weekend; I came across two that did not show cyclists in a good light, as a matter of fact, I found them downright embarrassing.

These were the "opinion" type of article, which is not the usual anti-cyclist rants; in both cases, the authors expressed that they were all Cycling and active lifestyle.

Rebecca Farrow, who resides in the territory of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, wrote a piece-of-the-art, with the title "shall mean any motor vehicle intended for Bicyclists must learn to share, too."

The woman was driving to work, when he says, he was nearly run off the road Pack cyclists Riding her, four and five clients.Not only they were totally opposite the component type-approval is received, but some were on top of the yellow line and Riding his is, as he approached.

Rebecca evaluate was more than 100 riders; even if this is an exaggeration and I think that is too many horse riding official escort Pack does not was half that number.He then stated:

"I was surprised when bicyclists began to tell me to slow down and moved by hand using gestures. in accordance with the posted speed limit of 10 Mph, was the very driving is not within my bicycle and were traveling in the same direction than I was.
I still get the hand gestures and dirty shows bicyclists and began hearing the shouting is for me my vehicle to the people "slow", "move", and other "three feet."I gave the three legs of the bicyclists on the clearance of the accounts they had been held for at least two feet in the middle of the yellow lines. "

I'm sorry, but I have to take the Rebecca Farrow, in this case, on the occasion of the forthcoming side. If the cyclists were taking only half of the Pack is made, on a regular service from their opposing is that a reasonable speed driving should not cause problems.

It does not guarantee to slow down and move signals. cyclists is WTF, which are moving over.It is precisely this type of arrogant attitude, in particular drivers, who make anything wrong that sours people against all cyclists.

The second article Philadelphia Enquirer, Robert Kelley tells the story of pedestrian viewpoint.
The previous article, the writer is sympathetic cyclists take previously ratsastetaan's plight and bicycles motorcycles itself; now forced to be a walk in the Visio impairment.

Robert's beef is running red lights speed with a high number of cyclists, and he says:

"In the case of bicyclists or motor vehicles we are not all the possibility to react quickly, we would like to head injury. In my case, lost a lot of my peripheral vision and depth perception and all my I cannot run at night.
When I am in excess of the Center of the city on foot from the night of the project, I see the cars, but you will need to try hard to read, and other pedestrian flow. I miss the often bicyclists against the light running. "

I urge you to read these two articles (links are text.), and tell me if you agree, that these two people are reasonable and, on the basis of a reasoned complaint driver problem.

I do not forgive, if always bitching cyclists bad judgment and action, it is unnecessary for me to complain about. Bad driving operators passenger cars, which is not my reading audience.

However, I am hopeful that change can make a few sanity intelligent thinking cyclists who may happen to read this.
