Nice to see people with academic credentials catching onto the value of imprinting the image on drivers’ minds.

Meanwhile at the NY Times on Monday, “Traffic Deaths in the City Rose Slightly Last Year” – overall up 5%, but for motorcyclists up 34%, and for cyclists up 50% year to year. Don’t panic – cycling fatalities went from 12 to 18 – but I still wouldn’t call a 50% increase “slight”. Maybe I’m just hyper-sensitive and need counseling from somebody better adjusted to mechanized life.
