my grandma is too close for a train but too far for a walk, perfect for a bike if we didnt have a left turn onto 55mph highway with no sidewalks as our only route to her

give me fucking bike lanes i hate being trapped in this house because of bad infrastructure, at least a sidewalk to seperate me from traffic

Bike lanes tend to be really dangerous. Better to bike with traffic on side streets and on busy streets you really want a separated bike path rather than a shared road.

yeah i was referring to seperated bike lanes, we have shitty pained bike gutters already

Could petition the city to install a bike bridge over the highway. There are a few cities out there with similar constructions in place.
