Cars. It was tried in Seattle and now, thanks in part to the backlash, cyclists are losing bike paths. -- Paul Hovnanian mailto:Paul(a)Hovnanian.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Faust, die Jung.

That's pretty dumb. You'd think as part of the backlash there would be MORE bike paths to keep cyclists and motorists separate. We have been adding paths in Mass. Some actually function to bring people from point a to point b. Most are 'scenic' rides that don't really go anywhere...

Its happening in a few areas (Alki is one) where the residents want the real estate back for parking, planting strips, left turn lanes. Since they've got the cyclists conditioned to ride on the roads by painting bicycle symbols there, the next step is to reclaim the bike path running right alongside them. -- Paul Hovnanian paul(a)hovnanian.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Have gnu, will travel. |
