[SDCBC] Curb bicyclists? NO! RE: OC Register Fwd: Mr. Dillow comment lett...

[Bicyclist]

Jon:
The OC Register article was not written by Jim Krause. He, a 
self-described weekend cyclist, responded to the OC article by 
suggesting curbed-off roadway portions for bicyclists as an 
appropriate safety measure for roads with speed limits over 30 mph. 
Though the OC article by Gordon Dillow did recommend bike paths and 
alternative routes for bicycling. See
