Is that like amount of bicyclists' farts per mile?
sure. let the bike owners pay for it.
Nah, they’re just thinking ahead to when there are no gasoline cars left no capacity to recharge the electric ones. Then every lane is a bike lane.
If they want bike lanes on public roads in CA, they should force them to register and license their bikes every year just like cars. It’s only fair.
because?
Bikes should be limited to closed tracks and stadiums.
They wasted a lot of money on bike lanes here and no one used them same with those bike racks on buses
I sold my road bike and bought something I could ride on the sidewalk.
Too many people gettin’ run over in bike lanes where I live.
Having said that, it’s typical Crazyfornia isn’t it.
...the environmental law’s restrictions often require costly traffic studies, lengthy public hearings and major road reconfigurations before bike lanes are installed.

All bureaucracies grow until they consume everything and produce nothing.
Bicycles pollute through their owner’s sweat and farts.
I say California should ban them. They don’t even pay road taxes.
Just wait till that high speed rail way is done. Nobody will even need a bicycle.
“Easted a lot of money on bike lanes here”
I hear ya. Where I live my city in its infinite wisdom purchased a bunch of battery poweredscooters you can rent and put ‘ em DOWNTOWN.
You can imagine how that went.
Two jitterbugs videoed themselves throwing one in the river that runs through the middle of the city and posted it on tiktok.
Real bright right?
You couldn’t pay me to ride a bicycle along side speeding traffic. I’ve seen people go under the wheels. It’s a horrific way to die.
Bicycles are dangerous.
What is needed is Common Sense Bike Control.
Start by getting them off the streets completely, and into secured storage at velodromes.
We’re not saying people can’t own bikes; just that they must do so responsibly, and under strict restrictions.
It’s...for the children.
Before I moved, the city took out lanes on major roads that used to have 3 lanes each direction down to 2 lanes for cars and converted the right lane into bike lanes. This causes congestion especially near freeway onramps and offramps.
You are easier to control I’d you walk and have no freedom of movement.
Yeah I did it for 5 years and I consider myself very fortunate nothing ever happened.
Too many knuckleheads out there texting and driving.
“You couldn’t pay me to ride a bicycle along side speeding traffic.”
Common sense is on the loose. Run! Run and hide!
I though they already had to license bikes, at least where I grew up in Bellflower/Paramount Calif in the 1960’s.
Here in Hawaii unless on state roads where the minimum speed is 40 MPH, Bikes can use any lane they choose, just like a car, truck, bus, or motorcycle. Bikes are required to be licensed here(rarely enforced).
I used to work with a Vegan ECO-Nut that insisted on riding down the middle of the signed 30 mph street and using the left turn lane. All legal, everybody hated him for it but it was legal. Thanks to his “Clean” life style he died from pancreatic cancer at age 55. The town in general did not miss him very much.
