My sole mode of personal transportation is my bicycle. I've never driven a car and I'm quite proud of it.
This blog is my place to rant and rave about cycling issues as I see them.
This is not a place for critics of integrated cycling - that conversation is over - segregation has no future - studies show it is not a safe or useful strategy, nor is it a healthy philosophy.

Law and Order Magazine, July 2013
Just noticed a great post at Bikelounger's site:
Law and Order Magazine: Bicycle Law Enforcement
Brilliant stuff! I wish all police officers knew all of this and kept it in mind during their patrols.
Here's another bulletin by a Florida police officer who understands the reality of what's safe and legal for cyclists:
A Department Bulletin to Help Officers Understand Cyclist Safety and Lane Use

I just donated a copy of Bob Mionske's "Bicycling and the Law" to our local police department. Hope they read it!
ReplyDeleteOne wonders whether some of them can at times... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words, Ian!
ReplyDeleteDid y'all see the video associated with that photo? Some jerk came up behind and honked aggressively. The cop's chat with him was - priceless!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's a classic. I kinda wish the cop had been on duty at the time, then maybe he could have cited him for illegal use of the horn or something. Instead he just gives him a piece of his mind.
ReplyDeleteIan-
ReplyDeleteI'm unable to get to the article. All the links I try take me to the August issue. Can you help?
(Don't worry about making me look silly by giving an obvious answer. I already look that way, through long, devoted practice.)
Thanks!

Hi Howard,
ReplyDeleteI've updated the link above - it should now take you to the July issue.
Thanks, Ian!
