the law says we (cyclists) have rights on the road
motor vehicle drivers don't seem to know of these laws
and if they do, they resent the fact
I've often been a passenger with drivers who curse cyclists and  
pedestrians

a new infrastructure
designed for low speed
human and electric powered vehicles
would be lovely

at this point we have many lovely "bike paths"
all designed for leisure riding
getting to the bike path is the dangerous part

I'd like to see full fledged lanes
for utilitarian use
to actually get to places
we need to go to

right now we have roads with bike lanes
which actually disappear along the way
making them more dangerous than if the lane didn't exist at all

Fond regards,
George
