> This is precisely what Forrester has been saying for years. Bicycle lanes that co-exist with vehicular traffic are simply too dangerous. Except Forrester is wrong. You'd be hard pressed to find cyclists here on the SF Peninsula who don't love the bike lanes we have. In other words, reality triumphs theory here. The only time Forrester is right is in those communities that do a poor job of implementing/maintaining their bike lanes (something that is not uncommon). > As opposed to the saints known as motorists?!? Yes, I find it (not) amusing when a newspaper article writes about a cyclist's death they feel the need to regurgitate rants about lawless cyclists. As if the cyclist is somehow responsible. And as if "cyclists" are a single entity (an 'other'), rather then being largely composed of weekday commute motorists who when riding are now called cyclists and, when they do something wrong, all cyclists get branded with this. I like to turn those bike rants around and describe how many more dangerous and/or absent-minded moves I see from motorists every week then from people on bikes.
