I am tired of trying to cross the street without getting killed and being distracted by bikers who didn't stop at the red light.  I am also tired of bikers on sidewalks going as fast as if they were in Tour de France even when there children around.  I had a friend who had several ribs broken in a collision with a biker.  Had he been a child it could have been far worse.  And I have children.

Floating a trial balloon is indeed a great way to do that! The police
(in NC, where they have more urgent matters to attend -- such as
restricting abortion, worker, consumer and environmental protections
have identified this as a hit-and-run, what more do you want?
