A story of near-tragedy, and heroism & community spirit from the Buffalo area today -- NOTHING to do with Obama's visit & blather much earlier, although it did take place not too far from that venue.
I'd recommend the audio clip on the site with Angelo, who was one of the citizen heroes...

Nobody should ride bicycles in traffic. They are just a nuisance — they are flat out dangerous.

Bikes should not be on roads. They cause danger for everyone and should be on the sidewalks.

I want the bicyclists on the road, not mixed with pedestrians.
I just had surgery 15 days ago, on my shoulder, from being run into on a mixed use pathway.
Fast moving cyclists hits senior citizen, slams him to ground, flees scene.
Shoulder (humoral head)shattered into 3 parts. Now has 12 screws. Just kicked narcotic pain meds, which make me sick.
Keep cyclists off pedestrian walkways!!!
