How Can Two and Four Wheels Coexist?

With the increase in bike usage around the world, there has come issues of capacity and infrastructure, however there has also come a social ill. Swarms of cyclists have ventured onto the intimidating multi-lane roads of Los Angeles on a regular basis, breaking the law by passing stationery cars and infuriating motorists at the same time. Officials are so worried by the culture clash or cyclists and motorists, that they have drawn up a Cyclists' Bill of Rights, and initiated discussion on how LA's roads can be harmonised so that two and four wheels can co-exist together, as well as implementing a bike task force. Two cyclists have already been hospitalised as a result of a motorist deliberately breaking sharply in-front of them, for which criminal charges are already being processed.
