Tal, you are a kindhearted, intelligent person who's very good at supplying helpful links on so many subjects. Must be your library/research background.

The car and bicycle were both headed south.The accident happened about two hundred yards before the redlight at Rio Grande.The car with the woman on the hood traveled another hundred yards before hitting a tree or embankment and got turned facing north.It was at this point the cyclist was thrown off the hood of the vehicle.The driver of the vehicvle had been traveling on the golf cart path ,then the south bound car lane,then the north bound car lane[right at oncoming traffic]and then the golf cart lane again where it hit the bike.I saw the whole thing in the rear view mirror of my car.The point where there are a car lane,cart lane and turning right lane on Rio Grande had nothing to do with the accident.It happened going south two hundred yards before the intersection.

Yes, I am breaking the law and a lot safer for it. I see more and more people doing the same. Years ago, the law was actually to ride against traffic. Not sure why it changed.

If that is what you are actually doing, you are creating a very dangerous situation for yourself and for those cyclists who are following the law by traveling in the proper direction. You could force other cyclists to have to ditch their bikes to avoid hitting you. Worse, you might get hit into oncoming vehicle traffic, with tragic results. I am glad that you haven't been injured, yet, and assume you haven't caused the same to others, but I sincerely hope you reconsider your riding direction.

I'm not going to argue or attack anyone. I am not near any cars, bikes or pedestrians. You guys need to chill. You get too emotional over some comments.

Being stubborn in the face of such good advice is very worrying. This practice is not only dangerous to you but to others. A variety of qualified people including a physician have urged strongly that riding a bicycle against traffic is very dangerous.

Please reconsider your stance.
