Bike safety report

From The San Luis Obispo Tribune, Sunday May 28

Despite an increase in bicycle safety over the past 15 years, too many cyclists fail to follow traffic laws, and police should "encourage tough enforcement," a county grand jury report says.

"All (of those interviewed) agreed: Numerous cyclists disregard the traffic laws to a degree that creates a hazard for them and, to a lesser extent, motorists," the grand jury wrote.

The recommendation was contained in "Bicycle Riding in San Luis Obispo County -- Sharing the Road." The grand jury said its members grew concerned "after observing numerous bicyclists failing to follow basic traffic laws."
