To the editor:

It’s correct to protect your head from a potential crash but it is far better to be able to prevent the crash from happening. You can’t do that if you turn your back to threats from behind.

Gregory,

You have presented incomplete stats from which to make an informed decision on something that could affects thousands of residents.

Plus, can you prove that riding, facing the traffic would be a safer option?

There are Country's in Europe that have been doing this for decades. What do they do?

As for mirrors and flags, instead of giving people yet another law or regulation to follow, or enforce, you let the public decide, on their own.

I think a better use of taxpayer resources would be to heighten awareness of bicycle riders directed at motor vehicle drivers.
