Bike lanes are just one more thing that seprates us or singles cyclist out of traffic. We need to be appart of traffic and be treated with respect as others do. The easies thing to do is to take the lane when ever you can.David Glandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329652538632174742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-13484623133071557142011-03-31T14:07:30.398-05:002011-03-31T14:07:30.398-05:00The background on this is the most media-savvy Sen...The background on this is the most media-savvy Senator just happens to live on PPW and his wife is on the group to get rid of the bike lane.

(Though given that, I don't entirely understand his stats on Salmoning. PPW is an explicitly two way bike lane on a one way road, which I thought was the focus of the community complaint around that lane.)<br /><br />Still agree with the basic point, but I bet a protected bike lane does even more to get people on the road than a white stripe.Gimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08697684896400767802noreply@blogger.com
