[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would certainly love to see gun control measures passed but I worry the most about traffic safety. We are a car-obsessed country.  [/quote]

+1. My husband was hit while walking to the subway last week by an SUV likely going around 20 MPH. The culprit was a crazy mom bringing her son to middle school. She had total visibility, but I assume was busy doing something else. My husband is 6'1 and 185 and he broke bones in his back and needed staples in his head. I keep thinking what if he was a kid or what if he was a smaller adult. Our cities are really built for driving in a way that many other cities are not. I also feel law our traffic laws favor cars over pedestrians and bikers to a large extent. You can basically kill someone and as long as you don't flee the scene you're fine.[/quote]

We'd all be much better off if most of us biked to work instead of driving.  And yes, biking can be done in bad weather.  We could heavily subsidize biking by giving money to people who either have no car or only one car.
