[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s very strange how the city assumes that if it makes traffic terrible, people will switch to bikes. Talk about leaps in logic. People will just avoid going to areas where it’s hard to drive. People will go to restaurants in the suburbs for example because it’s so much easier. I know I rarely go downtown anymore because it’s too difficult to get to and too difficult to get around. How does that help anyone?[/quote]

Are you honestly asking why it's hard to drive your personal car downtown to a restaurant, in a major world capital city?  It's a city, ma'am. Take public transportation. [/quote]

Uh, we’ll, it wasn’t like this a few years ago.

Also, let’s extend your silly logic to bikes: you got hit by a car riding your bike in a major world capital city? It’s a city, ma’am. Common sense tells you it’s not safe. Take the bus.[/quote]

When, the 70s? I’m sorry, it’s just not a reasonable expectation to drive your car to a major city downtown with no traffic and find easy street parking. [/quote]

I’m sorry but it’s just not a realistic expectation to think you can ride a bike in a densely populated city and not get hit by a car. It’s only a matter of time.[/quote]

This isn’t about bike lanes - it’s about safety for everyone. Yes it is reasonable to not get hit by a car. [/quote]

Good luck with that. Maybe you’ll defy the odds. [/quote]

Pretty telling that you think your right to drive as fast as you want outweighs injuries to pedestrians. [/quote]
