Wait a second. If you decide you shouldn't have hit the other car after

Before I go ballistic about this one, someone please explain what this
entails, and why it makes sense.

Could you explain this in greater detail? Does it demand enforcement of
performance standards as well?

I think this is a great idea. Who would like to lead a small Rescue Muni
task force to get this done? If DPT doesn't like it, I'm sure we could
get the Critical Mass organizers to run some bikes down Third...

Yes, I would agree with this assessment, and the Riders' Survey seems to
back it up.
