Recently, I was driving on a highway when a car passed and pulled in front of me. In the back window was a sign saying "Baby On Board." While there was Mdfieietit space to fit the car between myself and the car ahead of me, there was not tsufficient "safe" space. This common action annoyed me, as it usually does; however, I was further annoyed because of that sign "Baby On Board." We were travelling at 80,000 metres per hour (22 metres per second). My safe distance was roughly 30 metres, allowing me approximately a second to avoid hitting the car ahead of me if it were to come to an abrupt stop. Mr. or Mrs. Baby On Board reduce my expectations of avoiding injury by more than one half.

So what does this have to do with bicycles, you ask? Simply this; with the poor judgements of all the Mr. and Mrs. Baby On Boards frequenting the roads and with all the other inane decisions that the population of car drivers enact on the roads, it would seem impossible to have any long lasting cooperation between bicyclists and automobilists. Why would a bicyclist on two thin wheels, 15 pounds of metal, and a slow moving vehicle want to foray into the arena of Mr. and Mrs. Baby On Board? The poor judgement of the designers and maintainers of all the apparatus belonging to the commuter group compounds the inability for cy- clists and automobilists to coexist safely. Each summer people debate the car/bicycle issue, yet I believe it will be impossible to resolve until the basis of cooperation (human behavior) can become sensible and cooperative. loving parents have decided; do to her or him, has all the good sense to demand that the trip be put to an and shortly after leaving the driveway.
