As a bike-commuter, I'm happy to hear that the BU community is taking a proactive approach to bicycle safety, but there is one thing I would like to point out that wasn't mentioned in this article: A recent study found that as bike ridership increases the total amount of bike accidents does increase. However, the relative number of accidents per rider goes down (http://www.livescience.com/health/080905-bike-accidents.html). The idea is that the more bikers drivers see, the more they get used to looking out for them and sharing the road. I hope that people will not be scared off of biking by reports of increased accidents. It's a bit counter-intuitive, but the more people that continue to bike, the safer we'll all be.
