Sometimes there seems to be more bad feeling between noncyclists and cyclists than ever… I actually think motorist/bicyclist relations have gotten better. Yes, more people are talking about it, but many more drivers are now cyclists and have some understanding. For everyone’s safety, following the rules of the road is vitally important. I think even the most ardent motorist can understand the implications to the numbers of cars crowding the roads, and to the price of gasoline, if bicycles did not offer such a truly great alternative. mmbbof.org.
