SiouxGeonz over at Urbana-Champaign Cycling Ventures gives a quick rundown on the startling pair of crashes yesterday between motorists and cyclists:
I’m rather afraid that since most people drive, the question will not be “What do we need to do to keep these cars and drivers from killing and injuring people?” It will be “We are the majority. We *must* do something about these bicyclists. The more of them out there, the more will die.” And it definitely gives me the urge to get out my magic Engine Killer Ray and aim it at trucks and SUVs. And it gives me the urge because it’s DEATH and DESTRUCTION … That same magic Engine Killer Ray would turn the all the guns in the world into flowers, too. Yes, I know. Cars don’t kill people, people kill people…
