[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why spend tax dollars on additional bicycle infrastructure when bikers disdain the existing infrastructure? [/quote]

Dude. There is no such thing as "bikers". A bicyclist is anybody who rides a bicycle. And study after study after study shows that people are more likely to ride a bicycle when there is good, connected bicycle infrastructure.

If you drive, then you should SUPPORT good bicycle infrastructure. Why would you want more people in more cars getting in your way more?[/quote]Ok fair enough. Tell me why some of the people who ride bicycles don't use off road paths that are adjacent to road? I support bicycle infrastructure but it might not be prudent to act like it exist where it doesn't.[/quote]

Because they're sidewalks, and people are walking on them.[/quote]I apologize. I am speaking more for the outlying suburbs. Sorry if I derailed the discussion in terms of locality. (Side note-bikers don't like to use paths with peds cuz it slows them down)[/quote]
