[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe if bike lanes didn’t have little white poles and concrete dividers from the street, it’d be easy to plow. Or you could make the homeowners and business owners alongside bike trails clear them like a sidewalk—of course no sane homeowner would ever support bike lanes after shoveling even more snow.

DMV has inflexible infrastructure that creates huge bottlenecks. Parklets, dining areas, bike racks take up too much road space. [/quote]

Amen. We must suffer for an entitled superminority who thinks the world should bend to meet their needs. Take public transportation. [/quote]

It is amazing how much of the public's time, energy and money is consumed by a tiny number of middle age white guys who demand the government subsidize their hobby. [/quote]

Another canard. It's the middle aged white guys driving in cars alone who don't pay their own way and are subsidized by general taxation. Those who opt to bike instead of drive, reduce road maintenance costs, reduce insurance premiums, reduce road congestion, reduce various costs arising from fatal or otherwise serious accidents and the various cardiovascular illnesses that arise from being stuck in gridlock every morning and evening, and reduce the carbon emissions that give rise to the kind of insane weather we're currently experiencing. Hence the reason why bike lanes exist. If you really don't understand the concept of positive and negative externalities, please go find a video on YouTube that explains it to you. [/quote]

This is all nonsense. Also, it's only a matter of time before you get hit by a car. Good luck with that. [/quote]
