In past we have California unbalanced bike laws, written, which all too often cyclists more than motorists, which after motorcycle accidents responsible. Last year reported bicycle times magazine also of fatal motorcycle accidents, police rather blame cyclists as drivers for the accidents. And with new data from the San Francisco Police Department indicates that on cyclists, especially in the market could be Street, the main artery of the city.

San Francisco disturbing increase in the number of pedestrian and bicycle accidents reduce, the SFPD has implemented a safety campaign traffic. This is a promising campaign, and I hope that it reaches to save the declared aims of cutting down on dangerous traffic conditions and life. But StreetsBlog reports that the view on the quotations of the SFPD has so far issued, it may be placing on the market of disproportionate blame cyclists for past collisions.

San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr offer not much more clarity. "It is only the vehicle code violations, in General." Actually, it said to the pedestrians, "he."If everyone is a bit mad at me, but it is more secure, then that's fine. "It is in fact, that her hand is thrown up on is called."

So while those who use the streets, pedestrians and cyclists alike, must do more, make up the road to ensure safety, the city should not be unnecessary legal cyclists traffic injuries across the Board for pressure.
