As both a driver and bike commuter in Boston, I try to understand both sides. I, agree, that bikers can do foolish and senseless things that could cost them big (and they shouldn't). But much more often I feel that drivers are just incredibly annoyed and unjustly impatient. Motorists seem simply angered that they have to share the road with cyclists, and that we may hold them up for even a few seconds. Please be patient with us; I don't like holding up anyone's commute, either! In the case where drivers are actually upset about bikers' going through red lights, I don't believe that their emotions stem from the "lawbreaking" I think it comes from their jealousy that they can't do the same thing! Honestly, if a pedestrian can safely cross the road when the "Stop" signal is up, I think it's fine for a biker to do the same. As cyclists, we just all have to make sure that we stay safe and ONLY do it when no one is coming. One other issue brought up on the tape, is that I am glad everyone motorists are so "stressed" about our safety. I just ask, again, that they please be patient and remember that they can certainly do more damage to our bodies than we can to them. Although unlikely, I am always concerned that I may someday get hurt at the hands of a driver. Lastly, in response to the person who said bikers should ride the T and go to the gym - get a life. Or at least think intelligently. My energy is much more sustainable than the fuel used by the T. And, in the winter, when I do ride the T, I don't exactly enjoy watching full trains pass by, or getting smushed in with the million other people trying to use our metro system. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
