Road Safety Then Bicycle Safety
The latest rage in highway safety seems to be “on road” bike paths. Our State DOT has already painted the paths on the busiest roads in our state, as if this is the secret to bicycle safety.
Frankly, I think all a bike path does is scream that the safety officials are nutty as ding bats. For one thing have you ever noticed how few bicyclists use them?
At best they are a waist of limited tax dollars.
Don’t get me wrong, I am for bike safety. I just don’t think encouraging a relatively slow moving, very small vehicle to mix with much larger, faster, aggressive auto drivers is smart.
Here’s a thought: Bike safety will come only when automobiles are safe to drive our roads.
