One day I was looking at the local traffic map and I clicked on one of the diamonds that indicate traffic problems. Here are the details of the incident:
| Traffic Hazard - Harmony Grove Rd at Country Club Dr | 10:41 AM |
| * Riding East in the Roadway | 10:41 AM |
| * 4 Bicyclists in the Roadway | 10:41 AM |
| * They Are not Riding in Single File, Taking Up the Roadway | 10:42 AM |
| * Reporting Party States Nearly Hit One of the Bikes | 10:42 AM |
| * 19 ; Public Affairs Coordinator Highway On Ramp to South 5 | 10:43 AM |
| * CHP Unit Enroute | 11:02 AM |
| * Thomas Guide Map Coordinates: Page 1129, Grid 5D |
I say that sharing the road is a two-way street. Bikes really ought to share the road with the big, fast, heavy, damage inflicting cars. There are usually bike lanes for them (that are sometimes cleared of rocks and other hazards).

I will need to share this with my former student, a serious bike rider.
We have problems with bikers who ignore stop signs. I've almost been run down by bikers while I was crossing the street. But I do have to admire their bravery for riding in Boston traffic.
