Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

St. Louis, of course, isn't the perfect place to get around by bike. It's been pointed out to me many time that roads can be dangerous. And undoubtedly I have played the “are they texting, calling, drunk, or high?” game far too many times. There’s a whole lot we could do to make it easier and safer to bike around the city, both with infrastructure and an attitude of mutual respect. Remember, that’s a person out there, not just an obstacle.

And yet St. Louis is in the enviable position of not having been built for the automobile. Platted and built in the time of horses and trolleys, there’s almost always a way of getting from one place to another that would be incredibly slow in a car, but is pretty damn nice on a bike.
