We had to ride south on Avenue Road, keeping as close to the
curb as possible on one
of the busiest streets in town in the middle
of rush hour, wondering what kind
of governments hypocritically promote cycling and then neglect to provide any decent routes; that refuse to demand sideguards on trucks like they do in the UK; that refuse to enforce the few rules about parking or driving in bike lanes; and that refuse to ban cell
phone use while driving when 80 %
of accidents are caused by inattention
of drivers.
