[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure what the question is here - bike lanes serve a number of purposes that I won't take all the time to list below. From my perspective bike lanes done right should be the default on all roadways - once we have established that then all the automobile drivers can start making their case for why the bike lanes should not be there. How much extra time do you really think the bike lane is costing you on a particular road? This is the problem with society....we can find a million different ways to waste our damn time but delaying you a couple minutes so a bunch of people can  have safe transportation is just to much. Same thing when I bike on the road - drivers lose their mind having to pause 30 seconds to safely pass but those same people will wait in lines all over the place or play on their phone for hours.[/quote]

100% this. Couldn't have put it better. OP is a "Larry" who would rather kids be mowed down in roads than be a minute late in checking his sports bets.[/quote]

Completely delusional posters. How are a bunch of motorists being delayed a couple of minutes good for the environment? How are bike lanes in the road actually safer? [/quote]

Why would we want to make it easier for more cars? We have too many and there’s too much traffic. Even with bike lanes, cars get 98 percent of the infrastructure (and that’s generous to bikes)… sharing a little and maybe encouraging you to think of other ways to get around is the point and it’s not unreasonable.
