[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about the pro-bike / anti-bus people? Seems to be the main category of cycling advocates in the area.

Is it okay if someone is anti-bike / pro-bus? That seems to be the main category of anti-bike people in the area.

I don't know that I've ever met a pro-bike anti-bus person.  Maybe there are a few that exist, but I don't think that's much of a thing.[/quote]
Every single red shared bus and bike lane is pro-bike and anti-bus. The idea that a bus load of people should be inconvenienced in a priority lane for one person on a bike going 5 miles per hour is very much a pro-bike and anti-bus.[/quote]

Nice try. Most cyclists do 15-20 mph and are much faster than buses that stop every few hundred yards. I ride on shared lanes daily and have never once had a bus behind me. The lanes are regularly blocked by parked or waiting vehicles, however.[/quote]
There is no way a cyclist should be able to keep up with a bus in a priority lane. That is the whole point of bus priority lanes. Otherwise they should just be abolished.[/quote]
