I would be hard pressed to park my bike anywhere near a moving vehicle, esp. in U City where half the drivers have no clue how to drive or park in an urban area.
I would also like to see the enforcement of automobile laws.
There's just as many jackasses in cars as there are on bikes.
Cyclists are more likely to hurt themselves, while drivers are more likely to hurt others.
Maybe if you got out of your car, you'd realize this isn't a one-dimensional world.

I have not owned a car in over 10 years. I drive maybe 6-10 per yr. My primary mode of transportation is walking and public transportation. I commute to work every day by walking. And every day I have to dodge bicyclist on the sidewalk. This weekend on one of my trips I actually used a car, I encountered a number of bikers going the wrong way on one way streets and another one dodged right in front of the car to make a left hand turn from the right side of the street (maybe the couldn't hear the prius???).
So as a person who primarily walks and encounters bicyclist on the sidewalk & as an occasional driver that encounters reckless behavior of cyclist on the roadways, I am fully aware it is not a one-dimensional world cause those suckers are coming RIGHT AT ME!
