Keep up the good work in helping to raise peoples awareness! Now if we could only get more of our message out to everyone and not just preach to the converted.

We all love our children (or other people's children), why then so some people reserve their fury for the scofflaws who DON'T kill children, rather than the scofflaws who DO kill children? Did you know that cars are the leading cause of death among children aged 10 - 19, worldwide? But how many children are killed by cyclists - even scofflaw cyclists? <br /><br />I am afraid it comes down to blind, naked, unreasoning prejudice - you might want to read my post "Cyclists are ALWAYS in the wrong" at http://averagejoecyclist.com/?p=586 <br /><br />Cheers!Average Joe Cyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886204695543436064noreply@blogger.com
