Cyclists on Roadways
By law, cyclists have to use roadways and are not permitted to ride their bikes on side walks.
Presumably this is to prevent injury and upset to pedestrians using side walks.
I would never describe myself as a math wizard, but two equations have me thinking politicians should take a second look at this legislation:
1) bicycle + pedestrian = minor injury, possible broken bones
2) bicycle + automobile = major injury, possible death
A lot of cyclists are little kids. If everyone just paid attention to their surroundings, we could save lives.
