^^Very much agreed. I haven't ridden my bike in over a year, because I have to ride down Central College either way to get to a neighborhood or something. Sometimes it's just downright scary to be out there in anything but a car.
Also, if you look at the light poles on Hamilton coming North toward Central College, people just don't F'n pay attention there. I can't count the number of times they've had to replace a light pole there because someone hit them, or the stop sign too.
