I plan to use it. The interviewer asked if people were using this service because they were doing something illegal and he said, no, he did not think so he thought people just don't like to be followed around and have all that data collected on what they do.<br />Re: the bike thing. Yeh it is really dangerous out there, I am surprised every time I come home in one piece! My husband commented on how dangerous it is to ride in traffic and how he doesn't want to do what I do. I do ride very defensively and watch all the traffic I can see. But what is coming up behind you is hard to see and be able to avoid when they are going fast.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601972476631270966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565128606520217803.post-80005159064926097722013-06-15T18:17:36.866-07:002013-06-15T18:17:36.866-07:00Just when I was going to rant about the young driv...Just when I was going to rant about the young driver, I read Jenny's comment (above) and thought, I was known to drive and reach back for a lost pacifier in the baby seat...<br /><br />Stupid mistakes and dumb choices... we all make them.

I know it's not Pleasanton, but there is plenty of great information and news about laws, trends, and fun stuff. You might want to take a look. <br /><br />Not long ago, a bike commuter on the highway just outside of town was killed when a young mother reaching for a baby bottle edged over the fog line and crashed into her. <br /><br />And yet--the more bikes there are on the roads, the safer each one becomes, because then drivers are prepared to look for bikes. But in the meantime--be careful out there!<br /><br />That kid was behaving like a serious jackass, and he deserves to be punished for his crime, but I'll bet he was just a boneheaded teenager who would never have murdered anyone on purpose. What an awful lesson--and what a unspeakable tragedy for that woman's family. <br /><br />Here's the link: http://sacbike.org <br /><br />If it doesn't work, just Google it. Or Bing. Have you tried Bing? I'm still deciding if I like it.<br /><br />Jenny Hart Borenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587246633354905840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565128606520217803.post-45371932332282496032013-06-14T10:31:02.438-07:002013-06-14T10:31:02.438-07:00I hope they "throw the book" at that stu...I hope they "throw the book" at that stupid driver.<br /><br />Good luck to your son!smalltownmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10857871195417461235noreply@blogger.com
