"It's Time to Stop Killing Cyclists" by David Whiting
"Called Traffic Skills 101, the course is put on by the League of American Bicyclists and covers basic bicycle maintenance, bike paths, road riding and riding at night. Navigating traffic, however, is the meat of the course.
Last Friday ? the day after nine-year-old Nicholas Vela was hit and killed by a truck in Anaheim ? I attended the classroom portion. On Saturday, I checked out the road part. Join me in making the next class over-subscribed. And the next class. And the next."
"...you will come to understand more about what should be expected ? and what should not be expected ? from your fellow road riders."
