   Pandemic and lockdowns cause bicycle shortage. (I guess some people already knew this, but I didn’t know until April, when I walked past a bike shop that had people lined up outside all the way to the next intersection.)

     Also, this area of #SoCal isn’t great for bicycles. The roads aren’t designed with anyone except automobile drivers in mind. Both sidewalks and bicycle lanes are few and far between. (Not that bicyclists should ride on sidewalks, except in places where the two are combined.) Also, a big chunk of the population works 100 miles away in the #Los_Angeles area, so they are accustomed to speeding and swerving in and out of traffic.
     
     Even as a pedestrian, there are certain intersections where near misses are a common occurence.
