“Salt Lake City to install nation’s first protected intersection for bicycling”

I’ve actually had two or three friends/acquaintances who’ve been killed while bicycling, and several more who came very close to dying (and, in one or two cases, were seriously injured).

I used to ride a bicycle to work every day in southern California, about 45 minutes each way.

I’ve thought about taking it up again, but one of the things that works against it is the bad driving that I often see.

Anyway, I welcome this:
