Bicyclist's Decalogue
Bikes and cars can mix. To make it work we need:
1. Educated cyclists and drivers.
2. Smaller cars.
3. Roads with well marked bike and car lanes.
4. Bike lanes that don't suddenly quit or switch to sidewalks.
5. Bike lanes that allow for safe left turns at intersections.
6. Police officers who are willing to cite drivers when they cause
accidents.
7. Streets reserved for cyclists only. No pedestrians.
8. Streets reserved for motorists only.
9. Signs that clearly mark items 7 and 8.
10. Licensing for cyclists. For educational purposes.
11. More rigorous licensing for motorists.
12. More mass transit, especially rail and subways.
13. Annual renewal quizzes for licenses.
14. Annual or semi anual physical exams for older drivers. These would
include reaction time, peripheral vision, hearing, cataracts,
cognition.
15. A national data base for bike related accidents.
16. Federal highway funds for bike lanes and reserved streets.
17. Downtown areas closed to cars.
18. Higher motor fuel taxes to pay for it all.
19. More cyclists. Strength in numbers.
