Why are bicycles considered vehicles and not “walking aid”? @Daniel R Hicks: the "taxes" reason was specific to the classification of tomatoes; in general, I agree with your comment. |

Why are bicycles considered vehicles and not “walking aid”? @Daniel R Hicks: Indeed, and those are lines are drawn largely in legal terms (see also: "is tomato a fruit or a vegetable?" The answer is "varies by jurisdiction, for tax reasons"). In other words, the reasons for the distinction are not always dictated by the technical parameters, nor are they necessarily logical. |

What does a flashing yellow arrow traffic signal mean? @Brian Knoblauch: I remember flashing reds were quite common in PA, when I was taking my driver's test in the late 1990s; mostly in night-mode traffic lights: the main direction got the "proceed with caution" flashing yellow ball, the side street got "stop, then proceed with caution" flashing red ball. Nobody seemed to treat those as a novelty, so perhaps they're only now being introduced in your area? |

What is a good camera arrangement for city riding? @Kibbee: Actually, I've been thinking about getting one of those - my city is getting increasingly bike-hostile (despite its own propaganda) lately. Not every city is Delft, NL (or San Francisco, CA, for that matter); bikers are second-class road users here and we sometimes need every scrap of leverage we can get. |

Affordable GPS with maps? "Affordable"? Only if you already have one; and even then, I would hesitate to have a smartphone clipped to the handlebars. |
