I am coming from a country (Romania) where bikes were very common as public transportation sucked. There is a certain unwritten code law between car drivers and bikes there and definitely carefull driving. For instance. Someone opening a car door from a car to get out, first will instinctively look back to see if a bike is coming. And bikers know, that they shouldn't ride too close to parked cars on the side of the road. I am surprised at how much bike unawareness is in the US. But it is getting better. The price of gas and the economy going down contributes to this ;-) Gabi @ Mamaliga.
