I read the article then made the mistake of looking at the comments. People truly scare me sometimes....I think education would be good though because many times drivers base their opinions on a very select few irresponsible people. That and I heard a theory that a lot of drivers don't like cyclists because it reminds them they are sitting on their backsides and not exercising...don't know how much truth there is in that.

On the upside of it all, trail etiquette would be a good thing. We rode the Burke-Gilman to the Sammamish River Trail on sunday and noticed cyclists and other people (walkers, people pushing strollers, etc) riding/walking 2 and 3 abreast. One group of riders going in the other direction nearly hit us because they took up the whole trail! There are some pretty scary situations on the trails sometimes.
