If we want to be given the same respect as cars, we need to follow the same laws. And that means we get the same consequences if we break the law.

No speeding, no running lights or stop signs, pass only on the left, lights in front and back at night.

Blind spots on an Over the Road (OTR) truck are a problem for both the driver and those around him or her. Having driven OTR, it's bad enough to have cars in blind spots. Bikes would be like a fly or misquito is to us, for the truck driver. Safety is a real concern for the Trucking industry and they are doing what they can to help eliminate the blind spots. Of course, the chief component in checking the blind spots is the driver. So it's not so much as eliminating the blind spots, as it is training and educating the drivers to constantly check their blind spots.

Yes riding bikes to work and using mass transit are great options if you have those options. Unfortunately most of us live where there is no transit and the commute to work is much too far to bike. Energy use is expected to grow by over 40% over the next the next 15 years. Armand has it right we need a sensible energy policy that will reduce our dependency on oil based energy.

A boycott won't work, but I'm afraid that restraint will only serve to save you a little money. Even if we all could and did hop on a bike or public transit for marketing, commuting, and other life requirements, global demand is growing so rapidly that prices would be likely to remain high. More effective would be a coherent energy policy that invested in long-term R&D and alternative ecoonomical sources of energy here in the US and elsewhere. We should be urging our representatives to work for such a policy.

There's just one problem with your idea -- it makes too much sense!

I deal with this on a daily basis for work. It is frustrating. I have learned to keep my ulock and cell phone close at hand for the moments when a simple, "At least I am not another driver mucking up traffic and using gas" isn't enough.

Fritz: Keep fighting the good fight.

if you look on the website they have something like a keycard which makes it so only you can retrieve your bike.

they have an office in san francisco and i am just crossing my fingers that will lead to one being installed near my favorite bars downtown. ;D

hey, thanks!

i built it just as i wanted it and i really have loved riding it.

this is my favorite photo of that bike and the rest of the photos of that bike can be found here.

(i went through the trouble of finding the perfect pink and red things so i like to show it off.)

as for the website, i miss this community a lot. i was sad to leave point83 behind but also eager to start something new and awesome in san francisco. when i arrived i did much research and found mainly the following:

-unorganized sub-groups of bikeforum
-fixed gear people on myspace
-super snobby fixed messengers
-gay/lesbian group
-squid racer group(s)

i think there should be a specific forum online and group in real life for people who simply like bikes and bike people, who aren't snobby, and mainly reside in san francisco.

That was Kori who posted about the SF BIke Love forum, although she's also a newcomer to the area from Seattle. She moved here about two months ago or so I think.

This is Kori's pink bike. I absolutely love it but I don't think I could ever ride it.
