Sports Brief: Bess named to Walter Camp All-America team

I am a cyclist and have been hit by cars TWICE, once when riding on the sidewalk (on King) and once when riding in the bike lane on University! Both times I was following the law and it was cars that failed to look! I had a green light on University when a car making a turn hit me and knocked me off my bike. When I was on the sidewalk on King, a car busted @$$ out of the Long's parking lot for some reason and decided not to stop.

If you ride on the sidewalk (even along the Ala Wai) in Waiks, the Police WILL stop you and make you walk your bike. And so many of the far right lanes on Kalakaua are right turn lanes, that I end up waiting forever for cars to turn when I really want to go straight. In that case you better believe I'm not sticking to the right.

Car are big, expensive, and destroying the environment. Bikes are economical and green. If you're in a car, you should bless your lucky stars for that privileged and take watching out for bicyclist with the territory.

The only thing I REALLY can't stand is bikes that are going the wrong way! Like bikes traveling west on Kalakaua. HELLO! In that case they're just asking for it and the cops should stop them immediately.

The only other thing I can't stand is bike that ride on the sidewalk when there's a bike path! This goes for university avenue especially when they're tearing down the hill under the bridge and there's a bike path right on the other side of the street for a reason.

Everybody could use a little more caution.

It's important to save this tree. Let's do all we can to support Williams and the organizations opposed to its removal.
