I read this on the Sports Illustrated blog today —it’s a pretty frustrated rant from writer Austin Murphy about the dangers that bicyclists face on the streets these days, and a plea for drivers to “start seeing cyclists.” Apparently, he wrote this on the heels of a grisly accident in San Francisco. Here around White Rock we have our share of cyclists—I haven’t heard of any being struck lately but I sure have seen some close calls. However, as lake traffic and traffic in general steadily increases, I think it could do all of us who bike, jog or drive around here some good to read this plea from Murphy. Maybe it will be preventative.
