When affected by personal events, politicians are confronted by reality. The phony speeches about trendy subjects that tickle people’s ears and raise campaign coffers actually create a realism of changed attitudes when those in a governmental position of power are pushed by personal motivation.
Mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa, had a revelation that Los Angeles is designed for cars. Last Saturday Mayor Villaraigosa took a bike ride to the beach. While he was riding in the bike lane on Venice Boulevard, a taxi pulled out in front of him. The Mayor swerved, fell off the bike and broke his elbow.
Will this lead to sweeping change to motorist’s laws regarding bicycle safety?
