To the Editor:
I read with great interest Frank Tavani’s Letter to the Editor (“Sharrow-ing thoughts,” July 31) about bicycling redirection. Bicycles on Broad Street and Passyunk Avenue are hazardous to pedestrians. I have been bumped in the back of my legs while walking too many times to count.
They come up from behind with no warning. Try being 86, getting bumped from behind and losing your balance while the bicyclist continues gliding down the street.
I remember a time when bicycles were required to have a bell, which were used so pedestrians could avoid being startled or hurt. Do we not have a right to be able to walk down the sidewalks safely?
