- A crazy woman deliberately ran into some bicyclists near here, killing
- one and severely injuring others. Some news reporters were questioning
- whether they were in the bike lane (irrelevant, since they aren't required
- to be!). College Avenue is dangerous, due to the narrowness and traffic volume,
- but some cyclists apparently prefer to ride where there are more people.
- I can't see any other reason, since there are better routes, with little
- traffic, through the neighborhoods.
