You clearly don't have experience with heavy cycle traffic. Bikes do take much less space than cars, but when there are many of them you do need enough space to accomodate them and the width of a car lane is not luxury and is needed, and still does improve efficiency of the road. It's that way in China and in bike-heavy places like Copenhagen.
It's not possible to solve problems by refusing to acknowledge reality. We need pragmatism.
- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoI've cycled around Copenhagen and the vast majority of cycle lanes are smaller than a car sized lane. We should be copying the infrastructure designs of European cities that have been successful at getting people onto bikes etc. (Although not the "kissing bridge" as that's a stupid design for bikes). I thought you were pushing the idea of building as many roads as possible - that's clearly not pragmatic. The other very noticeable aspect to travel around Copenhagen is that they have excellent public transport. It's incredible to see the number of bikes they manage to squeeze onto their trains during busy times.
