Bicyclists in Austin are another protected class.

They did that in Peoria IL, mainly to allow a rich and vibrant group of teens to not have to use the sidewalks. Odd, they don't use the bike lanes either.

They need to elect new city and county managers.
I can't help them. They did this to themselves. Hope they find new parking. |

Same things happening here, and just because a locale is DOMINATED by liberals doesn't mean that the entire locale IS liberal.
Here there's a transportation advisory council that's heavily dominated by bicyclists. They admit that their prioritization of transportation is in this order: bicycles, pedestrians, mass transit and then private automobiles A couple of main routes through town were converted over to having bike lanes and speed bumps. I guess no one was paying attention to the public notices or meetings about the project because the howls of protest didn't start til after the work was completed Of course by then the city told the protesting residents that they should have attended the meetings |

I'm in the belly of the beast. The lanes are fucking stupid. They appear and disappear without rhyme or reason. I'll be on a street, turning right and BAM! Bike lane...'Hmmmm, I've never even seen a bike on this road before'. It's like they had a Oprah quota or something. " a bike lane for you, a bike lane for you, a bike lane for you.
Yes, I can understand them in high foot traffic areas like the Drag or downtown, but on 290, past Oak Hill? |

Bikers should begin paying taxes in the form of registration, sales tax and tolls (in lieu of a gas tax) while equally reducing all those said taxes for vehicles.That proposal should end this discussion quickly.

Saw the same sh*t happen in San Francisco. Traffic got constricted because of bike lanes. When I took a bike, I found quiet areas with few cars. Yeah I climbed more hills, but that's part of the workout.

Bike lanes in regular roads are idiotic, more of a political statement than a place for bicyclists to ride safely.

But then they wouldn't be able to suck each other's dicks that they did something "green". |

CDOT decided that, in order to slow traffic on the main highway through town, they would put in bike lanes. So they used some pavement grinding tool to remove the existing paint from the road and repainted the fog line, dotted lines and yellow lines, thus creating bike lanes...on the HIGHWAY.
Now, the ground out strips of highway pull your vehicle into them and they are noisy, too. Vehicular traffic now has considerably narrower lanes, less space for error, and I guess they expect the cyclists to be used as speed bumps in order to get traffic to slow down through town. Brilliant. Oh, and I've read that Boulder already tried the bike lane thing and has gotten rid of much of 'em due to public outcry. {Frank Underwood rapping ring on desk twice} "Good" |

That guy needs a dry corn cob enema applied daily and he's the face of the council. |

California just gave them the right lane on all 2+ lane roads and priority access to the entire regular travel lane on single lane roads.
Especially frustrating when they take advantage of it by going 10mph in a 35+ holding up traffic. When traffic backs up, they go around all the stopped cars to the head of the line then shoot out in front of a now even longer line of cars. Keep in mind most roads already had bike lanes. Not satisfied with that, they gave them a whole traffic lane. I STILL occasionally see bikes in the non bike lane. |

They initially said it wouldn't be changes but with the daily mile long backups and outcry they decided to change the lane markings back to 2 lanes before the city traffic engineers were tarred and feathered. They also tried to say that personal vehicles get free use of the roads so mass transit should take precedence. That argument got shortstopped when it was pointed out that we pay over 30 cents in road use tax for every gallon of gas. |

Austin has been putting in bike lanes for years. The dumb ass issue is living somewhere/shopping somewheere that does not provide parking, but instead feeling that you are entitled to make the city provide it for you. They also started putting in meters wherever they could.

It keeps bikes out of the car lanes and should eliminate the majority of GD's complaints about bikes slowing down traffic. |

To the Texas ASSCLOWN last month that refused to see that Texas is going BLUE. Went on a rant.
They have been moving in just like they did in NH. You are losing your state to Illegals, socalled migrant Muslims, and to the FSA types. Its too late now. So. Just STFU and bend over.  |
