SAFETY: Cycling 101 Needn’t Be Collision Course. “Cycling as recreation, sport and transport has exploded in recent years, with continued growth likely as more locales install bike lanes and bike-share programs. But as you might expect, with that growth has come an increase in bike-related injuries.”

Yesterday, I passed a cyclist going the wrong way in the left lane on Kingston Pike, one of Knoxville’s busiest multilane thoroughfares. You never used to see that, but lately it’s become common. There seem to be a lot more idiots out there on bicycles.
