Whoa Liz... thats awful about the girl who won't ride anymore...

As for the police not listening - is there anyway you can know someone, or know someone who knows someone on the local body/government/council (whatever you call it in the states) and get a stronger focus on bike awareness/saftey?

And maybe keep a log of these incidents - where, plates, driver description if pos (even if its just 'woman') - and take this to the cops whenever you have something that could be followed up?

It stuns me... just stuns me.
This woman driver in the latest incident is probably someones daughter, mother, partner, sister... doesn't she realise its the same for you, and in hurting you she hurts a whole family just as if she were in a car crash her partner/children/siblings/parents would be grieving too?

How can people be so blind to the humaness of a cyclist???
