[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sweat profusely. Been that way all my life. I sweat at the drop of a hat even a teen and 20-something multi-sport athlete. Cultural norms and acceptance around sweat and resulting odor would have to change.

Also, speed limits on bike routes would have to be imposed and low enough to accommodate walkers and children.

:shock: Why do walkers and children need to be on bike routes?[/quote]

Is this a serious question? [b]Most off road bike trails are multi-use, meaning for pedestrians too[/b]. I mean the ones that go through parks or on the sides of roads separated by grass, not bike lanes within the roadway. And children bike places for transportation, too. [/quote]

Yeah, those aren't really bike routes. :(  With the "shared use" paths, the shared use is non-ideal for both pedestrians and bicyclists.[/quote]

Hmm. My co-workers must’ve taken some fictional W&OD trail to/from work. Those are literally the ones that are most direct for them. If bike lanes created on streets become the norm, the entitlement of the cyclists on the W&OD will only increase.[/quote]

But there are also cyclists who don't live anywhere near a trail, for whom bike lanes on streets are the most direct paths. So you do sort of need to have both. Unless your idea is that only people who live near bike paths should bike to work?[/quote]

Perhaps.   Like look at the ratio.  Hundreds of cars today on OGR and 0 (zero) bikes.

For your logic, I don't live near a ferry and thus don't take one to work.
