The sad thing is that even with the culture of awarness and acceptence that Missoula has for bike/ped there are still two or three people hit every year. <BR/><BR/>I remember when I first moved to Missoula I was stunned by the was people treated peds, where I'm originally from, you don't walk around the streets. Now if I left, I'd have a hard time adjusting to a place where you can't just walk out in traffic.CarFree Stupidityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17452960459225854564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079297043552042968.post-71558380429084092322009-04-06T21:56:00.000-04:002009-04-06T21:56:00.000-04:00John, I'll have to hear more about Critical Mass. ...John, I'll have to hear more about Critical Mass.
