[*BCM*] Central Square Crackdown

[Ian Thistle]

I'm not sure how much I agree with the rest of what you're saying, but this 
is an important point. The best way to make bicycling safer is to increase 
the number of bikes on the road, therefore making vehicles and other 
cyclists more aware of them. I don't know the numbers but I'd bet that in 
places where bicycles outnumber cars on the road, the number of traffic 
accidents (especially fatal ones) is much fewer.
