I love how 'bike lane' is the first and last suggestion ever. I love how in my old town they tore up a commuter railbed to make an urban bike trail, knowing full well they were ripping up green transport for .. bikes.
Maybe sit down, kevin, and let's get people out of cars before we jam them into your favourite hobby.
Bike lanes aren’t just for cyclists, and actually it can pretty easily argued that a basically insignificant number of the users are hardcore cyclists. Where I live a bicycle is simply one of the best ways to get around and people will just use the great bikeshare program to get around.
So yea, nothing to do with someone’s hobby, and most everyone who wants to see a bike lane also wants everything else. What we’re all mad about is that bike lanes are so fucking easy to do and yet you’ll never see a temper tantrum like when you ask for a road that’s way wider than it needs to be to have one installed.
In my town the old railhouse is an isolated shelter on a concrete island flanked with 5-6 lane one way roads. Thanks Rails to Trails!
