They won't look silly as we have more and more bicycle traffic, and anyway they're very effective in stalled traffic, and good for public relations.

Crime has recently come to my neighborhood, which is about as out of the way as you can get, down at the end of a winding dead end road. I had a yard cart stolen just after dark, while I watched, and two separate packages out of my mailbox, prompting me to rent a PO box (which I love). I'm assuming desperate druggies; they seem to be everywhere these days.
