[*BCM*] Electro Bike....Re: Battered Biker Syndrome

[Hiroyuki Yamada]

I disagree, Jim. It's an interesting discussion about the legality of 
and proper response to a situation that affects cyclists riding, as you 
said, bicycles on streets. If there are regulatory or participatory 
steps that need to be taken by Boston's cyclists to convince city hall / 
DOT / et al. to adjust on-street parking to better accommodate both 
bicycles and other two-wheeled forms of transportation without creating 
unnecessary conflict or congestion, I'd like to hear about them.

Discussions on the BCM list that bring to light issues that affect 
cyclists are, in my opinion, one of the core reasons I stay on this list.
