[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Secondly: Most busy streets have biking lanes. Using empty sidewalks is encouraged. No cyclist would even dream of taking the lane, they stay on the shoulders of the streets at all times. [/quote] From what I understand, in general the cycling culture in "bike friendly" parts of Europe (certainly the Netherlands and Denmark) is charecterized by very widespread protected bike lanes (often raised from the street, and closer to the sidewalk) and slower riding (in ordinary clothes and a wider range of ages and abilities), and shorter riding distances (because of generally denser cities, less sprawl) To get there we need not only far more and better bike lanes than we have, we need differently built cities. Someone commuting 20 miles by bike is not going to ride at 8MPH, and someone going fast does not belong on sidewalks, and not in door zone bike lanes, and sometimes not in bike lanes at all. [/quote]
