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.
