We're in agreement that there's no use punishing the station owners.
This was a huge accident, possibly/probably preventable, and like many big business, there were probably some politics and behind-the-scenes goings on that we'll never know - some fault with the regulators probable too.
BP=Bicycle Power
We're helping prevent further accidents.
Please think of the Bike People - in a way they can contribute to less drilling for Petroleum
and remember many are Brave Pedalers who deal with the Bad Passers
and other obstacles.
We're cyclists and though we pay the same taxes as others (probably more with a dozen cars and trucks, and several properties in TV and vicinity) we use a whole lot less of the Roadways, paths, and other resources and infrastructure built around petroleum powered mobility.
Look at all the extra space we allow the motorists - in parking lots, on the pathways, on the public roads.
Less noise, less pollution.....
Whether you're in your car, cart, or on foot, remember to show your appreciation with a smile, wave, or a nod.
Hundreds, maybe thousands like us came to TV for the great biking.
Serious cyclists are a very educated and affluent demographic. Just because they choose to produce a different and lighter footprint and get about the same way people have since they were toddlers on trikes, and have done so for over 130 years, doesn't mean they are just kids out playing.
They have good money - they buy big homes, they vote, they are very well educated, and they are concerned with health, the environment, and getting great value out of their lives and their dollars.
Tailwinds!
