[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please, no more bike lanes. Cyclist are slow and get in the way of vehicles.[/quote]

I don't think I'm more important when I'm in a car than when I'm on a bike - or when I'm on foot.[/quote]

Fair enough, but I think vehicles are more important than bikes. Vehicles include things like trucks which carry goods to stores, ambulances, fire trucks and police cars, which are often in an emergency situation, buses which carry people to work and cars carrying people to and from work etc. Like it or not, roads were not made for cyclists.

OK, so make as many bike lanes as you want as long as it doesn't slow down the vehicle traffic.[/quote]

Ok, so except for fire trucks and ambulances all of those things are accomplished by bike as well.  People absolutely bike to work and do it much more efficiently than in large cars. Roads were actually originally built for horses and bikes- in the 20th century the lane was redesignated for use by cars. Nothing wrong with changing it back if that is the best, most efficient use of space. [/quote]
