Rascuache cycling justice

This chapter discusses the issues related to bicycle justice and the intimate connection between the bicycle and the automobile. In addition to death in accidents with cars that are sometimes homicides, unarmed Mexican cyclists have been shot and killed by police in southern California. The chapter focuses on the issues of parking space for automobiles versus parking security for bicycles. It expresses that attempts to regulate cycling by state and law enforcement are extensions of a general movement in society to regulate space by law and to marginalize the poor, students, and racial minorities from the urban landscape. University campuses and athletic facilities designed and/or expanded since the 1950s have often followed the development model of the shopping mall. On these campuses, cars rule, bicyclists face challenges typical of other kinds of minority groups, and there is little practice of bicycle justice. Many rascuache bicycle owners are commuters who travel in the most direct line simply unaware of bicycle routes.
