Comments on: Another Breach of Confidentiality? Push for cyclist-only streets as hundreds hospitalized http://chrisschnurr.wordpress.com/2009/06/26/afi-double-speak-and-another-breach-of-confidentiality/ Commentary on news on politics in Windsor.

It's nice to see so many people riding on the sidewalks rather than risking their life on the roads to obey the law. I will continue to do so until they give me a ticket, then I will fight it in court as a violation of my constitutional rights. Which constitutional right, you say? The right to ignore stupid laws. More on this –

When I was 17 and riding my bike to school, someone going past in a car tried to grab me, causing me to lose my balance and wipe out on the gravel shoulder. Luckily I wasn't hurt badly, but it forever changed my view of bike riding. Now I will only ride on residential streets and if I have to use a busy road like Riverside Dr., you will find me on the sidewalk, legal or not. I'll take the ticket if necessary, at least I'll be alive!! Re: Bike Lanes – I agree 100% that there should be completely separate bike lanes and not near cars or parked cars.
