Adam Pieniazek posted an article on - Aug 6, 2010, 10:35 am

If a car wants to travel from Boston to New York, there’s quite a few dedicated paths for them to choose from. But if a bicycle wants to do the same, they cannot follow the path of the motorized ve...

Adam Pieniazek posted an article on - Aug 4, 2010, 7:32 pm
Honking is to alert other drivers to a potentially dangerous situation. Honking is not for relieving your rush-hour anger or for encouraging cyclists to get out of your way. The road is not yours, it is ours. We must share it. Honking for no reason only serves to minimize the power of the horn. Yo...
