    A couple riding beach cruisers felt that it was ok to plow through a four way intersection from the sidewalk onto the crosswalk, coming out of the shade of a big tree at high noon, while it was flashing don't walk with a green arrow for my left turn. My heart jumped.

    I think I was in the clear with the right of way. A guy had made the left ahead of me. But people should really be more careful with their lives. It's only a car, broken bones hurt.

    People on beach cruisers aren't cyclists, bing, they're just people. ...drunk ones, it seems, most of the time.
    Try to avoid running them over. ...within reason.
