[CYCLISTS ARE NOT DISPOSABLE - Isn't it amazing...? the way they say more about the damage to the bicycle than the person who was killed riding it??? 2004 has not been a good year for auto/cyclist tragedies. Way too many cyclists are getting killed or injured on the roads with little to no repercussions to the drivers. It is time for a change.]
