At the risk of being found insensitive the first bicycle security measure should be extending hefty tickets to bikers who act like if traffic regulations didn't apply for them. I am tired of trying to cross the street without getting killed and being distracted by bikers who didn't stop at the red light. I am also tired of bikers on sidewalks going as fast as if they were in Tour de France even when there children around. I had a friend who had several ribs broken in a collision with a biker. Had he been a child it could have been far worse. And I have children.
I don't doubt Seth Vidal was a nice guy and I don't know if the accident was from a fault on his own. But neither do you so please don't engage in demagoguery. Having said that, my condolences to his family. From what I know from him the world is a little worse JFM ----- Mail original ----- De: "Paul W.

If anyone reading this list is in that area, I hope they'll work on gathering other like-minded people to take action (maybe involving local government?) to increase safety. -- Paul W.
