| Re: Buses with racks go a long way
When a car over takes a walker or biker most of the time it will
pull over to give extra room. When they pass a motorcycle they don't. It
also seems when a driver sees a bike or walker they keep an eye on them
until the car is clear. A motorcycle, if it is seen at all, seems to just
become part of the background.

Not so. The better you ride or move over the closer they feel they can come
and the faster they can pass you without sliding over into the left lane.
Have you been reading at all on this ng? : ) It is called buzzing.
Drivers with race car ambitions. Speed kills.
It is the being predictable dilemma that drivers take advantage of with
wreckless abandon with everyone. I must confess it is hard to turn things
your way. I find the only thing I can do is avoid traffic whenever I can.
Parks in Surrey let me do just that because they cover acres and acres with
bike trails running cross town.
Maybe we should target motorcyclists with a cycle to work campaign.
They probably suffer all the negative aspects of cycling but at higher
speed. Also, the criminal aspect of it even more.
