We have our share of problem cyclists here in greater Boston, especially
Cambridge.  Driving in Boston/Cambridge traffic is bad enough; but
picture this:

	You are making a left turn through a gap in (heavy) oncoming 
	traffic into a one-way street when a cyclist (no helmet, of 
	course) emerges THE WRONG WAY from the mouth of the one-way 
	street!

Do you:

	1) Run the cyclist down?

	2) Stop and get creamed by the oncoming traffic?

	3) Swerve and total your car on a lamp post?

I have encountered several (3-4) situations like this, fortunately,
each time there was room to avoid an accident.  But someday ...
