Yep. I live in a college town. School just started. The students love to walk around in the streets after dark dressed all in black. Smart kids! Also, we have a lot of one way streets, and right after school starts and for a couple of weeks it is common to see them driving the wrong way on these streets. The many signs have no impact, so the town has now painted arrows in the middle of some of the streets. Hasn't helped so far this year. > > And you will not open doors in front of bicycles, someone on the > college > bicycle team will hit you for sure.

Bicycle riders are supposed to obey the same laws as cars. They don't. Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
