That's like saying, no automobile lanes, or no pedestrian sidewalks. As a cyclist living in the Netherlands, I enjoy riding on dedicated bike lanes with their own traffic lights. Every road has a bike lane - most pathways are separated from traffic. And cyclists always have the right of way, even when they're breaking a rule. Which of course rarely happens..... :>)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02481292365105789785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415589203905330363.post-84821777572441615952010-10-21T18:31:05.826-04:002010-10-21T18:31:05.826-04:00Kyooty

Some roads here don't have paved shoulders. They have a lovely white line painted on the rocks where the salt and sand and snow plows have scraped the pavement away from the sides though. My hubbie used to bike daily to work from April-November, but then the threat of Car and Bad potholes put an end to that. Our "green" city has some ungreen issues.kyootyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001748005643667487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415589203905330363.post-56567130333616990602010-10-21T15:31:55.081-04:002010-10-21T15:31:55.081-04:00The bike lanes make things safer for both cyclists...The bike lanes make things safer for both cyclists and drivers. Period. Going a step further to the law we have here in Colorado, requiring that motor vehicles give bikes a three foot minimum on the roads makes the situation even better for all involved. I don't understand the anti-bike sentiments-you have to keep your eyes peeled for other cars, animals, people, etc., so what's the big deal about being alert to cyclists who are allowed to be on the road?TiredMamaRunninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17423159147507047828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415589203905330363.post-55602817046658991152010-10-21T14:07:25.485-04:002010-10-21T14:07:25.485-04:00Yes, I have to agree with Anonymous, "I usual...Yes, I have to agree with Anonymous, "I usually stop at most lights" is not a point in your favor. LOL<br />Although the tornado might be a good excuse.<br />Seriously, however, I can't imagine why people would rather have bicycles on the road amongst the cars instead of in a designated bike lane. Counterintuitive, I'd say.Kay L.

As a driver I would be definitely on the lookout. <br /><br />Our bikers have all the same rights as cars and travel down the middle of the road. Some are considerate, but as each year goes by it seems we have more and more rude bikers. They intentionally hold up traffic, ride several abreast and apparently while having the same rights as a car they easily jump to being a pedestrian when they don't want to wait for the red light. I honestly can't believe more aren't hit as the zigzag around traffic. <br /><br />Looks to me like a very nice bike lane and the drivers should be thankful to have the bikes out of the road. (We have bike paths, but the bikers won't use them and the law doesn't require them to).Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121205250839003802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415589203905330363.post-62147674930532080842010-10-21T12:07:01.427-04:002010-10-21T12:07:01.427-04:00Can't we all just get along?
