Baltimore Bike Safety. Nice idea.

Baltimore City Councilwoman, Mary Pat Clarke has put forth a series of proposals for the benefit of safer cycling in the city. The death of an area activist, Jack Yates, inspired much of the legislation.

Yates was killed when he was entangled in the rear wheels of a large truck.

Suggestions include reorienting sewer grates so bicycle wheels do not become caught in them and designating travel lanes for non-motorized vehicles only.
