[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t bike in the ice and snow. That is the last and least of any conceivable winter weather priority. [/quote]

Says the American Car Driver, unable to understand that a large swathe of the urban population would be more upwardly mobile if they could bike safely, because they don’t own cars.

In other countries, bike lanes are cleared FIRST.

Maybe a case could be made if anyone biked in bad weather around here. But they don't. So no, it won't ever be a priority. [/quote]

Hundreds of people probably cycled in the city today. Some because they had to, some because they wanted to. In either case, they have a right to do it safely, without having our bike lanes buried under ice moved aside so thousands of morons in cars could use “their” road. [/quote]

I seem to remember something about cyclists being entitled to take the lane on the road? Why don't you just do that?[/quote]

Because we have dedicated bike lanes for a reason. We have as much right to the road as any other vehicle, but wouldn’t you rather us be in our own lanes? [/quote]
