Subject: [Bikies] Re: bike vs car Sunday night> Bicyclist was headed east on SW Path, failed to yield entering the street, and
was hit by a sounthbound car at Mills St.I blame the city for this one. I told them last fall they should put in stop signs for the street traffic at all SW Path/street intersections (for the cars, not the bicyclists) - due to the heavy pedestrian and bicycling use of the SW Path. The city chose to ignore my request, as usual.
With the increasing bicycle use AND car driving in the city, it's only a matter of time before we start experiencing fatalities at these intersections. That is, if we don't drop over from health-related attacks first. Heart attack, asthma attacks and the incidents of stroke are all scientifically correlated with inhaling the ultra fine particles disseminated through motor vehicle exhaust.
