So motorized bicycles can't go over 20 MPH, but what about human-powered bicycles?

When my kids were in elementary school, I worked an early shift so I could meet them for the walk home. It was a pleasant, 10 minute walk of about half a mile. Some parents and kids were appalled that I'd make them walk 'all that way'!

We're turning into a nation of fat, lazy, complacent people, driving round and round in the parking lot so we don't have to walk too far getting into the gym for some exercise.

Paul pointed out the central idea this 'study' neglected, and that's lane positioning. According to the LCI list, there's a chart showing the author's greates distance from the curb was a little over a meter. Hugging the curb is a sure-fire way to have motorists pass far too closely.

I may have more on this later over on CycleDog, Fritz.

I wonder if the helmet is the key or just the appearance. If I'm wearing "urban warrior " clothing, a messenger bag, dark sunglasses but no helmet will vehicles also pass closer to me?

I have a strong suspicion that crash rates have a direct effect on the number of injuries and deaths...

That guy should be arrested for those disgusting pants as well. Tell me that is not in fashion anywhere.

I dunno, Fritz, but I'll take the contrarian position. That inverted U rack could take 4 bikes in a very small space if they were positioned right. The rack I use at work is similar, but it has multiple U's designed for 8 or 10 bikes. Of course, mine is the only one in it.

One other aspect of inverted U racks is that they're pedestrian friendly - at least when no bikes are present. Compared to some of the 'art' bike racks, this is a plus.

I've seen some inverted U's (and similar designs) with an instructional illustration on them. Is that a good solution?

Parking parallel still provides parking for two bikes -- one bike on either side of the rack like in this photo.
