Letter: Hazards of cigarettes, meat are similar

Original post made on Mar 14, 2014

A few weeks ago, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Surgeon General's first report on the health hazards of cigarette smoking, the office released a report linking smoking to several new chronic diseases. These include diabetes, erectile dysfunction, cancer of the colon and liver, and stroke, in additional to the well-known links to lung and oral cancer, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

Thank you to the Town of Portola Valley!

I'd just like to express my thanks to the Town government and residents for some efforts made on behalf of cyclists and pedestrians during the past year.

Specifically, additional parking enforcement and signage along Portola Road near the Windy Hill parking area has resulted in increased protection for cyclists (and the occasional pedestrian) and prevents us from being forced into traffic lanes by a line of illegally/poorly parked cars.

I've biked in this area for 12 years now, and it is my sense that respect for others and adherence to the law is increasing generally. Efforts by cities and towns in this area are an extremely valuable part of that increasing respect and compliance.

I'll keep doing my part by stopping at signs, yielding to pedestrians, and keeping my lights flashing, but I wanted to share my gratitude and the extra measure of joy I feel when biking through Portola Valley. Your efforts are noted and greatly appreciated.

Kudos!

Sincerely,

Peter Lenhardt
