give bikes the right

Reading about a local activist that was killed while riding his bike, I've found two interesting bicycling resources. First, BicycleSafe.com offers tips on how not to get hit by gas-guzzlers, and a second site about how the Austin cops pursue cyclists' infractions more than motorists. This is essential reading for cyclists, especially in Austin.
I don't know if y'all saw the news, but Stereolab member Mary Hansen died cycling on Monday. This is sad news for the band and the music world.
Finally, on a lighter note, I was walking to school the other day, and some dude was being all East Coast, trying to weasel out of yielding to pedestrians. I mouthed some choice words at him as I crossed in front of him, and, as he sped away, I noticed a "Give Bikes the Right" bumper sticker on his car. I guess bikes have the right-of-way, but people on foot don't.
