That's like saying "I'm pro-life and anti-gun control".

Oh. Wait.

Edit: Guy confirmed that he is, indeed, pro-life and anti-gun control.

I am anti-bike lane. Honestly at least 50% of it is from the shitty bike posts. Probably more. Some of it is from the massive unused bike lane they built in my neighborhood. It cut though yards and 50ish trees and permanently fucked traffic. But half of it is the sorry-ass bike memes.

    If traffic is so fucked, you should just ride your bike instead. Sounds like you'd have a nice traffic-free bike lane all to yourself.

    Yeah! Great! If the bike path led to anything. You have inspired me to show up for town hall meetings to try and remove the bike path. Good job!

    Has the concept of "extending the bike lane so it leads to something" crossed your mind, or have you been huffing too much gasoline for that kind of radical thinking?

    Well, at least you're not in denial about it. Good for you!

    Do you not see that this is exactly the point? What good is a new bike path if it doesn't lead anywhere? I'm not sure how you see this as a problem of too many bike paths and not too few bike paths Genuinely asking if you can see the merit of this point — as I 100% agree with your premise, and 100% disagree with your conclusion.

    The thing is that bike lanes need to be built intelligently. As a bike commuter I want to have bike lanes that don't force me to ride close to parked cars because that is dangerous for the cyclist and people getting in and out of the cars. I want to be able to conserve momentum and not have to stop everywhere, because building up speed costs effort. In my country if there is a bike lane its use is compulsary, but some lanes are so unsafe or so built to kill your speed that I often do avoid them wholly or partially.

    I admit to being somewhat of a vehicular cyclist but I support easier safe options for those who are not.
