Vehicularist?

Are you a vehicularist or a facilitator? An interesting article on bicycles and traffic rules here in Slate magazine online.

I'm glad that cycles are excluded from "one way" rules in Japan. On the other hand, I did hear somewhere that police are stopping cyclists and warning them here now for riding at night without a forward light.

[David L. supplement:] I just wanted to add this cross reference -- a post from a master finance blogger who touches upon related topics -- which model of car drivers are the worst? I believe Nihoncassandra has recently relocated from the East Coast of the U.S. to France, so his ranking presumably applies to BMW drivers in France, not in New Jersey.
