(Refer to last winter's NYTimes map of the street deaths.) <br /><br />I'm not blaming the driver nor the cyclist - its the traffic from bridge to bridge that has a deadly lack of new rules of the road. <br /><br />I don't see how the City can take an area that was once mostly commercial traffic, then add residential living/traveling, and not expect the two to colide with deadly consequences.<br /><br />I used to like Bloomberg, but now I see how his drive to increase Manhattan density was undertaken with thoughtless consideration of the issues created by industrial/commercial/residential crunching. It makes me so sad.bowery boynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-52913091930613007632011-08-19T13:39:51.683-04:002011-08-19T13:39:51.683-04:00According to today's newspaper reports the cyc...According to today's newspaper reports the cyclist lost control of their bike and fell under the wheels of a truck.

People.
Slow the fuck do...This makes my blood boil.<br />People.<br />Slow the fuck down.<br />Stop at lights.<br />Always ride with traffic.<br />Wear a helmet.<br />And never forget, they are bigger than you.
