The goal--if we're being honest with ourselves--is not to protect cyclists on the road. It is to promote environmentalism. If we wanted to protect cyclists, we'd keep them on the sidewalk and make them walk their bikes across the crosswalks. Our roads were designed for automobiles. What we *are* doing is engaging in a tongue in cheek crusade whereby we sacrifice cyclists to further the cause of protecting the environment from carbon emissions. Cyclists are being hit *because* they are on the road. Think about it: How many cyclists are struck by cars in the forest on a trail? Now, Kitchener has a section of King St. with a raised bike lane. That is an acceptable solution.
