Bus Drivers Ride Bikes to Appreciate Passing Laws

Visit www.cycling-today.com for more. An educational program in Cariacica, Brazil, might provide the best incentive to keep drivers alert to cyclists' needs: turning the tables and getting drivers on bikes. As part of the program, bus drivers ride stationary bikes on the side of a busy road, and experience what it's like to get passed by a bus. The buses leave them about 1.5 meters—nearly five feet—of space, which is the law in Brazil.
