I was thinking of you up in Chico, Gino. One of my coworkers is from up the Sac Valley and he also told me it's pretty bad.
And what are blogs for besides whining? :-)

You guys don't know smoky in the bay. When I left Chico (to escape to the bay, where it isn't smoky) on Friday, at 8am everyone had their headlights on because it was so dark from the smoke!
This weekend in the cool and foggy and breezy bay area was a relief, and this post smells like whining to me. :-)

In the animal world, might makes right. Then there's that dang food chain thing. A groovy natural environment is a great thing. You just have to accept that the mighty and the hungry (not to mention the mighty hungry) have their own priorities.
Of course in human-dominated environments you have predators on the hunt as well.

Dana, from the news account this looks like it took place near a populated area on maintained jogging/biking trails.
My views on outdoor activity for children align with this documentary. These issues are also discussed at Free Range Kids.
My son is 12: He goes backpacking with his boy scout troop in bear and mountain lion country, he surfs in shark infested waters, he even rides his bike through heavy traffic to get to school.
My children are much more cautious than I was, and I was one of those "sissy" risk averse children. I remember when I was seven years old climbing a fence with "DANGER: KEEP OUT" signs near my home to explore the dangerous deep and steep canyon with crumbling rock ledges, narrow ravines, rattlesnakes, bobcats, and coyotes. My friends and I did this every weekend, and I remember the accomplishment of finally reaching the bottom of the canyon.

The handsfree law CVC 23123, applies to motor vehicles.
On the plus side, at least it's gotten people talking about distractions of all kinds.
The consequences of distraction are still illegal. For example, unsafe lane changes, running stop signs, etc.
You don't actually have to hold a cell phone to your ear, or be drunk, to do something stupid/dangerous/illegal while driving. Even perfectly sober, alert people do stupid/dangerous/illegal things while driving.

Thats too bad people don't want to bike to work... the funny thing is, as the prices of gas contain to rise I am sure they will start liking it more and more.
Unless we can up with some amazing answer to our dependence on fossil fuels, I can see bicycling becoming much more popular. The short distances many people drive their cars can just as easily be covered on bicycle, often without even adding much time to the trip (due to traffic, stop lights, etc).

Murph: you gotta love what Broomfield did to escape that island of Boulder County. :-) And I seem to recall some people in Longmont wanted to merge into Weld County not long ago.
I don't know if you've been up to Larimer County lately, but they have their own sprawling mess stretching from Berthoud into Fort Collins along US 287. The state even built a bypass around Berthoud to move all of that commuter traffic around the town.
Cezar: I'm disappointed in their lack of awareness on a lot of issues that impact their districts, some of which James alludes to in his comment. Penry & McNulty mock the thriftiness of bicycling, but then push their own ludicrous proposals.
James: Douglas County, Colorado is completely unsustainable and not just because of energy issues. I think many suburbs can adapt to life in a lower carbon future, but the sprawling burbs south, east and north of Denver will return to prairie and, maybe, ranchland if the current residents leave any fossil ground water behind. Much of Douglas County, for example, depends on non-renewable groundwater.

Puma could really help by bringing out decent tapered touring shoes for toe clips. Smooth sole, somewhat stiff...I hear the retro cycle-styled Pumas don't have the stiffness of the real deal.
I'm also with Siouxgeonz about us old fogies, some of whom have been carrying the cycling torch through many dark years, even on bikes that don't coast.

I live and commute in Dallas, this does not surprise me at all. Two years ago we had 300 feet of bike paths, last year they took it out, and replaced it with a bridge that has three 90 degree turns, in 20 feet, to get on and off.
I have been commuting for three years and the most bikes I have ever seen in my 20 mile ride each way has been 9. It is not easy being an early adapter.

It seems that every 5 - 10 years some or other fashion house in Paris or Milan discovers the bicycle. Just like auto manufacturers who periodically stick a folding bike in the boot of their latest lemon. What always amazes me is how lazy the ad/marketing departments are. Always, it seems, just as in this case, the seat will be on an odd angle and other accessories (here, the headlamp) will be poking off somewhere else. Aesthetically eugh! And these guys are supposed to be style gurus? They should at least spring 15 bucks and get an LBS to assemble the bike before the photograph it. Could be worse. They could be hawking gold plated Segways.

Thank you Old Timer -- it's always best to know from people who will actually be directly impacted. Like you note, any changes will cost $$$. In general I'm a fan of traffic calming, but in Santa Cruz there really is no place else for traffic to go -- Mission is already beyond capacity, and there's no where else for traffic now on King to go. I'm sure also that residents on King don't want to give up their parking, since parking is also already so limited in Santa Cruz.

king street old timer has left a new comment on your post "Santa Cruz: King Street bikeway meeting":
I live on king, and I'm an avis cyclist, and none of these options are good.
Parking is already a big problem. Taking parking won't help. The first option means I would have to cross king with kids and groceries, or walk a block.
Widening the street by taking the medians will expose pedestrians to greater risk and remove trees that make the street nice. Are you going to move the telephone poles?
bring your wallet...
I would be in favor of moving traffic off of king as in option two, but then the side street neighbors get burned.
Most of all, king is safe to ride right now. What I need is a safe, quick way to get downtown or to the eastside.
This is sort of a bridge to nowhere.

Thanks for the shout. Because I may need to be in many different places in one day... doing a number of tasks... cycling can be hard for a Realtor. However, I found that I can ride to do showings at my listings (I ask my clients if this is acceptable) and ride with my buyer clients who are into it.
Additionally, if I want to work in my office on a slow appointment day (rather than home because my kid is going nuts) the commute is easy.
I could probably reduce my driving by 30% to 50%.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Dangers of Bike Lanes":
Where I ride we don't have bicycle lanes and we do ride in traffic with fast moving cars.
I ride in Texas on country roads to avoid traffic.
In the last 2 months I have read about 4 bicyclists being killed because they where hit by cars from the rear. I myself would rather have a bike lane than constantly be riding along with them. At least with a bike lane you have the option.
On single lane roads with cars and large dirt hauling trucks whizzing by at 70MPH you can nearly be thrown off the road just from the wind of the vehicle. The are merely 1-2 feet from your shoulder. We here want shoulders and bike lanes. Fighting against them seems like a disservice to the bicycle community; In my opinion.
