With gas prices soaring more people are taking to the road on a bicycle. The increasing number of cyclists has caused conflict with motorists. In a recent Newsweek article the city of Portland Oregon is having increase problems with road rage between the two groups. We had our own incident in Los Angeles a few weeks ago when a driver slammed on his breaks in front of two bicyclists causing them to crash and suffer injuries. I only ride a stationary bike but talking to my fellow spinners they talk about the increase in bike riders who do not know bike etiquette. I have cut down my driving but have not resorted to bike riding. My kids all have bikes and use them for week-end activities. My oldest son would like to eventually ride to work. My words of advice: Be Careful Out There!
