Cyclist-Pedestrian Wars - I missed this in mid-September

From the NY Times. Did you know that riding the wrong way is called "salmoning?" Worth reading...

Thanks for the link. There has been a lot of talk about facilities vs. good riders in the bike advocacy biz lately. Cities like NY that have encouraged cycling by adding cycletracks and bike lanes need to encourage the new cyclists to obey the law. Last think we need is bad P.R.

Yep. "Swimming salmon" is what wrong-way riding is called, for the fish that fights its way against the flow.

So the fish shouldn't have mined a little bit of water sprayed in their face which was the usual treatment they got from the Sunday shop ride.
