Legally Speaking with Bob Mionske - Turning with a blind eye
Tracey Sparling, a 19-year old student at the Pacific Northwest College of Art, was returning to campus after a lunch-break trip to her apartment. As she approached the red light at an intersection, she slowed, coming to a stop next to the front tire of the cement truck in the lane next to her.

The Explainer - In or out?
Dear Explainer,I?ve been a long-time fan of Jonathan Page.
To me, he?s a workingman?s hero, the sort of guy who approaches cycling like a lot of us approach our jobs; he just puts his head down and does what he has to do to get the job done.
