There's just as many asshole drivers and clueless pedestrians to go around where everyone can be the villain. viva las bike lanes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-50023717121059646502010-11-22T22:34:56.641-05:002010-11-22T22:34:56.641-05:00For more bike lane saturation!
