Mitch -

I SO agree. I live in Salem, and cycle frequently. I become so frustrated with the bikers who are on the wrong side of the road, crossing the entire street in the middle of traffic, not properly lit at night, etc etc.

I began calling bikers in to the Police a few months ago. I hate driving lawfully and having a narrow miss with a cyclist who is illegally moving. It frustrates me knowing that they give the rest of us a bad name.

I don't think that our citizens will embrace bikers until bikers become less of a true threat to drivers' well being.

And I fully agree - tickets ought to be high, and bikes ought to be impounded.

CHEERS!
