»In which it's hard to be a cyclist

Neither cyclists in the city nor in the country are safe: the first, shot in the head while running errands; the latter, ploughed over by a BMW. Although the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition is lobbying hard to make the intersection of Octavia and Market safer, cycling in San Francisco feels distinctly less safe than it used to. Or perhaps it's all the jackasses on track bikes with freewheels.
