Bike racks and BU Bridge

It would be great to see more bike racks, and also covered racks. The one's near the Law School are weirdly designed: too close to the wall so there can't be so many bikes there. More racks may create more riders which may create less cars: this would be a great initiative. The BU bridge is totally scary, and is the lowpoint of my 20 minute bike commute. I always breathe a sigh of relief that I've made it to and from Cambridge. When roads are too dangerous, cyclists naturally move to sidewalks, and this isn't pleasant for pedestrians even if they're moving slowly. In my opinion, helmets are a red herring. The help to create the illusion of safety for both drivers and cyclists. Good roads, attentive drivers and cautious cyclists are the key.
