The Federal government is throwing out millions to cities for dedicated "bike lanes". One thing no city can pass up is Federal dollars. Gotta keep those pension funds pumped up.

In my city they have replaced two good 10 foot wide lanes on the major thoroughfares with two 8 foot wide lanes and a 4 foot wide bike lane.

Sadly, I think somebody is going to be killed.

That's my problem with them. The morons who tell me that "Bikes are the future of transportation" are just the icing on the cake.

Oh you nailed it. Ann Arbor by U of M is a prime example. It is hard enough to park their, especially a large car and now you have to stay out of the bike lane it is a royal pain in the ass plain and simple. And by the way their was a time I had a 23 lb Cannodale Aluminum Tube monster and I wore the tights as well, but I wasn't a zealot about it.

It is a Kass Sunstein nudge and an Agenda 21 Trojan Horse, just like this Rotary Circles, don't even get me started on those pieces of crap...
