The news reports done on people commuting at beginning of this year was generally one of astonishment and amusement at this wacky folks trying save a few bucks.

And it's not simply because there are fewer cars on the roads, but because motorists seem to change their behaviour and drive more safely when they see more cyclists and pedestrians around. Studies in many countries have shown consistently that the number of motorists colliding ...

"Rock!" or "Dead skunk!" at full volume. Others point at the object with such an animated gesture that they swerve dangerously. Here's a better way to be the eyes of ...
