BIKE: traffic sginal flame wars: a good teaching moment

[elizabeth gray]

Fellow bikers,
I've been bike commuting for three years, and just got on this list a few weeks ago.  Although I mostly just scanned the lengthy missives, the vigorous back-and-forth has done me good--the anecdotes on near misses was a timely reminder that I can NEVER become careless or overconfident about my own actions, nor about what vehicle drivers might do.  I hereby pledge to slow down.  (Yes, I stop at traffic lights when they are red; I needed the reminder to be careful not to sail through on green before checking.  You'd think my near-death experience crossing Guadalupe at 29th on green a year ago should have made me eternally vigilant, nevertheless....).

But what are hairy palms?  (Bob Farr's remark on what happened after an accident).
