The thing that annoys me is people all around the MIT campus riding on the sidewalks (going fast) with no freakin lights on. Get some damned lights for your bike!

This is sort of a long term solution, but some other countries have "traffic gardens", which are basically parks with a little road network in them where kids can practice navigating according to road rules. We should probably build some.

Of course, that doesn't help for people moving here from else where, who haven't ever ridden as adults. I just tell them "wrong way".

It tends to improve over time after a new project is installed. But, people do still do it in other areas, usually trying to avoid convoluted multistage turns or other lackluster infrastructure. Personally it doesn't really bother me as it doesn't seem to actually present any danger.

Licenses for bikes would go a long way to solving some problems. Help enforce rules of the road. A minor fee ($10) could go towards infrastructure. All that road work doesn't pay for itself.

Be careful. The unwritten first rule of r/CambridgeMA is that you don’t post anything that is critical of cyclists. They are watching. They will take away your internet points and then stalk you for weeks across multiple subs.
