WOW! After going back and reading those comments to that article I must say- THANK GOD I LIVE IN A PLACE THAT TREATS CYCLISTS WITH REPSECT!!

Yeah, I felt the need to SHOUT it! I'm THAT grateful! Now I'm not saying that Phoenix as a whole is cyclist friendly, far from it. But my little burb overall is very courteous. In fact sometimes they are TOO courteous! Most of our roads have a wide center turn lane here, and they go all the way into that lane to give us space, thus kicking up all the scree in the lane and chucking it back at us. Not that I'm complaining!!
