http://www.sacbee.com/740/story/1399234.html Its getting harder and harder to be heard since yellow journalism reared its ugly head.
YOU MUST HAVE CONTROVERSEY to sell fishwrap. Sorry for the loudness but its important to the above story. Might as well rename the article "how to create a mob."
You see day in and day out I'm amazed on how much kindness and room I get on my daily bike commute. Despite the cruddy roads we are given. Does that become a story? Nah no controversy in it! Doesnt rile up the masses!
Open letter to the writer of this piece Try finding a moment and writing about how great we are despite all our differences. How my daily commute is the thing I look forward to each and everyday and the fact we do share the road more and more everyday.
Yours,
John Boyer

Cars and Bikes have to live together and its really nothing new. We have to have laws and streets that protect people, starting with pedestrians actually. The matter has always been can we get the most out of our streets as places for transportation, commerce, and living neighborhoods.
And in the end it always chops up progress when sensationalism, fabrication and conflict runs the communication lines of our community. I applaud your new vision and flow of communication. My hat is off and I bow to your vision.
