- Ray LaHood on respecting cyclists (are you listening US Attorney's Office?)

- “If someone is not respectful of cyclists, there’s a penalty,” he said. “That’s it in a nutshell.”
- "We need to develop zero tolerance for people who don’t respect cyclists,” Secretary Ray LaHood said yesterday at the first of two national bike safety summits hosted by U.S. DOT this month. “That’s the campaign we’re kicking off today.”
- Also “When you build a road, build a bike lane. When you’re fixing up your street, build in a bike lane. Do that, and we’ll be supportive of that at the national level.”
- The World Health Organization is increasingly recognizing mass transport and urban design as traffic safety solutions. " Mayor Bloomberg, who spoke at the launch of this year’s report, cited sustainable transport solutions, such as advanced bus systems, increased pedestrian space, and protected bike lanes, as proven examples of “what works”."
- Pedestrians and cyclists just don't mix.
