Among cyclists, helmets use is, and will probably always be, a contentious issue. Because of this, many of us just don't discuss our position on the issue at all. It will just make everyone hate one another, but no opinions will be changed.
Today I am going to risk scorn and' [...]
Adam Voiland has a roundup of the Philadelphia crack down after two pedestrians were killed by cyclists.
In the first homicide a wrong-way cyclist hit a paralegal and left him to die in the street without giving assistance. Authorities are still trying to find the cyclist. In [...]
Despite the obnoxious behavior of the two bicyclists in question (re: resisting a police officer), an Ohio court made exactly the right ruling:

About two weeks ago we reported on a few council proposals in Philadelphia to require bicycle licensing and increase the fines for various cycling offenses, brought about at least in part by two recent pedestrian deaths as a result of cyclists colliding with them.

Let's admit it. Too many bicyclists keep too many unused bicycles in their garages or their basements. I'll include myself among the guilty.
Maybe there's an emotional attachment to an old relic. Or it's difficult to find an alternative to taking the bicycle to the dump, an unceremonious end for a trusty [...]
Last weekend Philadelphia Cops pedaled around town on a mission:
Make bicyclists pay attention to their surroundings, those they share the road with, and the laws they're supposed to follow.
