Kathy:  Now let’s check our e-mail. 

SFX:      Computer keyboard sounds

Kathy:        We have an e-mail from Christie in Los Angeles.

                  Her question is:  “Is it safe to ride your bike on the streets of San Francisco?”

Mike:      Well, that’s a difficult question.

                  There’s a lot of traffic, and sometimes there are accidents.

Kathy:        Is the city government doing anything for bike riders... to make bike riding safer?

Mike:      Well, last year they made bike lanes along some of the major streets.

                  But I think they should do more.

                  They should stop all automobile traffic on some streets.

                  Some streets should be for bicycles only.

                  Then it would be much safer to ride bikes.

Kathy:      Thank you, Mike, for being our guest today.

Mike:      Thank you.

Kathy:      Let’s take a short break.
