The story mentions the worst areas, or 'black spots,' bike accidents happen most and quotes from Taipei councilor Wu-Shih-cheng. Councilor Wu, I believe the only 'black spots' in this city are the sidewalks.

I can't believe anyone bicycles on the road as they are always all over the sidewalks running into us regular, law-abiding people who are walking right where we should be.

We shouldn't have to be worried about these inconsiderate people as they weave in and out of us in a place they have no right to be.

This city would be better off if the police put a little effort into getting them off the sidewalks, something I have never witnessed.

But then again, look where we are as nobody follows the rule of law here, so I do not expect anything to be done. But when someone (or their child) gets hurt that is well-connected or famous, then they will crack down I think.

Again, we have to remember where we live. So, to councilor Wu, your city will be a much better and safer place to live once your self-titled 'black spot' is erased. It would just take your police department to do a little work, but I do not expect that to happen either, I have been here too long to know!
