Bicyclists and drivers plead for caution on roadways: Roadshow

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 07:47:56 GMT

Q: I truly appreciate that you have written about the critical issue of automobiles and bicycles respectfully sharing city streets. Recent harrowing experiences warrant raising this issue yet again. I am a 70-year-old retired social worker and avid cyclist. I ride often near my Berryessa home. I prefer the South Bay’s many bike trails, including the Guadalupe, Stevens Creek, and San Tomas trails, which are blissfully car-free. To get to them, I must negotiate surface streets and there, encounter automobiles. Many, if not most drivers respectfully share the road. Unlike many cyclists, I am a conscientious rider, following all the rules of the road on my road bike, equipped with front and back blinking lights, and a side view mirror.Twice one recent week while riding eastbound on Borregas Avenue in Sunnyvale, I encountered cars emerging from commercial parking lots. In both instances, they entered the street directly in my path. Collisions and, likely, significant bodily injurie...
