Now let’s get the government to create two lanes for bus and bike. It makes no sense to share them as buses aggressive cut off poor cyclists at every light.

- stingrae 7y agothe plan does create a separate lane for bikes.
- Symbiote 7y agoUnfortunately, it's at the same grade as the pedestrian footway. That will lead to people wandering into it, and cyclists skipping outside it to overtake. It would be much better to have a small drop, even if it's only 5cm or so.
- TulliusCicero 7y ago> Unfortunately, it's at the same grade as the pedestrian footway. This is how protected bike lanes work in Germany, and it works fine. A slight drop would probably be okay too though.
- brlewis 7y agoThat may be a side effect of German culture. In Boston, Massachusetts the bike lane in the sidewalk near North Station does not work fine at all, even though it's very clearly marked.
- dependenttypes 7y agoIn my experience it is the cyclists that aggressively cut everyone off, especially pedestrians.
- megablast 7y agoReally? How many cars have cyclists killed over the last 20 years? Not sure how you can get more aggressive than that.
- dependenttypes 7y agoNot sure how this is relevant. Just because bicycles can't kill cars it does not mean that cyclists do not "aggressively cut everyone off, especially pedestrians".
- TulliusCicero 7y agoPeople being aggressive on bikes is a side effect of terrible bike infrastructure. SF has hardly any protected bike lanes. Go to places where the bike infrastructure is good, like the Netherlands, and cyclists aren't any more aggressive than drivers or pedestrians.
