Drunken driver hits a bunch of cyclists
Letter addressed to Engineering/Public Works of Bay Harbor Islands:
(the reply --if any-- will be posted here) Hello, While you may have one of the most beautiful causeways, overlooking the bay and the islands, it's also one of the most hostile to cyclists. So much so that we simply stay away from it, even when we may take another winding way. The city ordinance that mandates cyclists to walk bikes over the bridges is totally senseless, particularly at the long bridge over the bay. This is specially grinding and dangerous when there's no space whatsoever to walk bike on sidewalk. Try it yourself. One time we were verbally attacked by a vigilante who wanted to enforce the ordinance and we were lucky only to lose our pride. He claimed he was protecting us while subjecting us to all sorts of humiliation. WHY? It's funny that elsewhere A BICYCLE IS A VEHICLE and yet here it's some kind of toy. It seems like the ultimate form of discrimination, though a rather sophisticated one. May I remind you that both cyclists and pedestrians "run out of sidewalk" at the end of the bridge (westbound) and that you must walk over the grass and the mud. Thank you for your kind reply. |
