the bigger problem is bikers don't feel safe.. i don't ride in my city because i'll get blown away if i do. we have poorly maintained bike lanes, drivers who don't give a fuck. it's terrifying. protected bike lanes provide a safety incentive that is unmatched by any other plan.

I just want the hardcore anti bike folks to eat their own, and I feel that this perspective could convince them to. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 10:25 1
