Dan used to ride his bike to school over here, but has stopped doing that in recent months after a few close calls. Even down here people are horrible about yielding to bikers. I'm sure some of the reason is due to the inconsiderate bikers in the city who don't decide if they are going by pedestrian rules or car rules, and thus piss off both and everyone. But no matter whose fault it is, when you place a bike against a car, the winner every time is pretty clear.
