[*BCM*] The movement that divides us

[Lee Peters]

Oh, really.  We get honked at for swerving to avoid sewer grates, avoiding double parked cars, riding on the street, avoiding doors, avoiding potholes, avoiding puddles, riding slower than cars, turning left, and wearing tight pants.  Should we stop doing all of that too?

What produced the palpable core of respect for bikes and their riders in Berlin and Amsterdam?  Let's do that.

  The eternal circle.  As the more you (and others) run the lights and are disrespectful, the more you're going to get honked at, etc.  Someone has to take the first step - why can't it be you?

  "As long as I'm getting honked at, told to get off the road, doored, barnstormed, flipped off, and whatever, I'm going to run those goddamned lights."
     ^^^ My sentiments exactly!
