Second all of the teeth gnashing about cyclists (and walkers, joggers and dogs in other threads) are a reminder of why I miss my beloved beach area so very very much. There; biking, walking, dogs, skateboarding, jogging, roller blading and in some cares crawling home from the pubs ;-) are a way of LIFE. Everyone understands and stops to let people on bikes ( or skates or jogging or crawling) .... "blow through" stop signs, because it is understood what a pain it is to stop and start on a bike. Everyone just slows down and gives all of these groups a wide berth because it is no big deal!!
Totally agree.
