More this. The cars dominance of our roads needs to end. We need to take back our streets, and the safety of those who use them.
I know there are car drivers who get annoyed by this, but I ask you to try and gain some perspective and objectivity by riding a bike in a city some time. You will understand why cyclists need protection, and why anything less than this is just putting lipstick on a pig.
Look at the number of recent deaths of cyclists in San Francisco, CA. It's horrendous, and needs to change. Cars have for too long been given too much.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoUnfortunately there's an unworkable middle phase where cars are suppressed but not a lot of folks are cycling yet. Result: many complaints. Have to get over that hump to reach utopian bicycle state. Probably not going to happen.
- bluejekyll 10y agoI think the middle road is the painted lanes. This gives a little more security to get more cyclists out. As those cyclists grow, then there is enough usage to promote those to dedicated lanes. While I'm arguing for the need of the desired endstate, I do realize that we have to go through some iteration on the path to get there. (Starting to sound like software development)
