[*BCM*] biker killed on huntington ave

[Clive Standley]

Its terrible when anyone dies on the roads, it happens far too often and 
obviously
just because of mass and velocity cars cause the most damage. However, 
there is something
to the original post, don't take it as a flame. Sure we need drivers to 
be more considerate, but also for cyclists
to be more sensible and to follow the rules of the road. How many times
have you gone through a red light or down a one way street the wrong way.

I think something all of us cyclists could do is be as considerate of 
motorists
as we want them to be of us and also to read the basic traffic safety
