New at Twin Rivers Cyclists?

I discovered the Bike Nazi blog this morning. It has a focus on the bicycle as transportaton. This post seems to represent the tone and attitude tlhroughout. Most significantly this guy is in Boise. Steve should look him up–or, not. Sometimes too such strong opinions conflict. –Corrie

The Bike Nazi
Bicycling 101 for Non-Cyclists

There’s no denying it – a rift exists between motorists and cyclists. Motorists tend to see cyclists as obstacles and road hazards. Cyclists tend to view motor vehicles the same way.

Most cyclists – at least adult cyclists – know the motor vehicle traffic laws, because they have driver’s licenses and drive cars. And that means at some point in time, they had to take the test.

But many motorists (and cyclists, too) seem to be ignorant of traffic laws as they pertain to bicycles and their riders. After all, many have either not ridden a bike since childhood, or they ride bikes recreationally, but steer clear of the roads. (Bicyclists who ride on the roads have no excuse for not knowing bicycle traffic laws!)
