The reality is simply that there are good drivers, good bikers, good runners, good walkers and of course, bad in each category also. To label a group as a whole, is not very open minded. I've had many near misses while running, and was hit on my bike a couple of years ago near El Cortez. The thing is, I run, I bike, and..I drive a car. I don't feel an entitlement to any of these modes of transporting my body from one place to another. Apparently many feel quite differently. Wake up.
Great post.
