Step 1. Paint bike lanes.
Step 2. Fine bastards who violate them.
- rtlfe 6y agoWe're really bad at step 2 in NYC. Bike lanes are just additional parking spaces.
- hereme888 6y agoStep 3. Build bike cages so you can safely park bikes w/o worrying about theft.
- dfgdghdf 6y agoPainted bike lanes do not feel safe enough to most potential cyclists so they don't lead to much modal shift.
- wj 6y agoWhat if they added posts? Either metal driven down into the road that a car would not go through or plastic ones that would deter a driver from running into them? I think that would provide more of a sense of physical separation.
- dfgdghdf 6y agoThey have been doing this in London. I think it makes a big difference! It also prevents people from parking in the bike lane.
- orthoxerox 6y agoYou need: - physically separated bike lanes wide enough for safe overtaking, with a gap between them and a parking lane that protects cyclists from open car doors and people leaving the car from cyclists - an actual network of bike paths instead of vanity paths - redesigned intersections that are safe for cyclists (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_intersection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_intersection) - bicycle storage infrastructure in apartment blocks (not everyone has a suburban garage) - bicycle storage infrastructure in office blocks
