[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd have more compassion for cyclists if they treated pedestrians respectfully - stop for them in crosswalks, don't bike like maniacs on trails and "thread the needle." Slow down and share the trails. [/quote] PP, some people are just transportation jerks. They're jerks when they're driving, they're jerks when they're on bikes, they're jerks when they're walking. That's not an argument against good bicycle infrastructure. It's an argument against being a transportation jerk. What's more, the more good bicycle infrastructure we have, the less people on bikes have to share facilities with people on foot (as well as with people in cars). I am out in the exurbs, and I ride on the sidewalk a lot, because it's too dangerous to ride in the road. When I ride on the sidewalk, I always keep in mind that the pedestrian has the right of way. But I'd prefer not to have to ride on the sidewalk in the first place. [/quote]
