Bicyclist injured during pro-bike ride

From wire reports
Monday, May 12, 2008

A protest by Santa Cruz cyclists turned hostile after a rider collided with a motorist during a ride to remind drivers to share the road, authorities said Sunday.

Santa Cruz police Lt. Rick Martinez said about 100 bicyclists swarmed the streets near the city's waterfront about 10 p.m. Saturday.

Police said a 20-year-old Santa Cruz woman suffered minor injuries when she came out from between two parked cars on her bicycle and into the path of an oncoming car.

Paramedics checking on the woman called in police as heated arguments erupted between cyclists and motorists and another driver's rear window was smashed.

Three cyclists have died in collisions with vehicles on Santa Cruz streets in the past 10 months.

Reminds me of this little happening that occurred yesterday at our CM.
I slowed down to chat with some dude riding on the sidewalk that was going to the CM.
As I finish my line, he see's some buddies across the street at the meet-point, and J-walks right across the busy-ass, Bear Valley Rd!!!
I yell to him, "The fuck you doing!?!? Trying to kill yourself!?!?"
He says to me, "I don't take the crosswalks and the lights won't change at the entrance."
I says, "Fool, with all the cars out here, there's more than enough to trip the sensor and turn safely with them into the parking lot!!!"
His response, "I duuidn't know."
He later told me that he rides the sidewalks like it's a normal thing, that roads scare the piss outta him.
