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.

File under: Every cloud has a silver lining.

Bikes should be limited to closed tracks and stadiums.

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.

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.

What a load of crap. Put down some "Sharrows" and the problem goes away. A traffic study is not a major hurdle to overcome and there are several ways they could re-strip the existing street to accommodate cars and bikes. But they won't please everyone.

“the environmental law’s restrictions often require costly traffic studies, lengthy public hearings and major road reconfigurations before bike lanes are installed”

Maybe because people are rightly concerned about how bike lanes will affect the primary function of the roadways, which is for motor vehicle traffic???

Considering how many bike lanes exist in California I consider this a yawn

Putting aside all the other issues, what jumped out at me is that this is all about a two block long connector between existing bike lanes. Classic issue. Bike lane here. Bike lane there. Two block gap. And I’ll bet the local motorists sit there stewing about cyclists on inappropriate roads, never realizing that a needless gap has forced them off the protected path.

Build a coherent bike path network using non-arterial roads so that cyclists can get around without impeding the cars. Link up existing bike lanes and paths. Build connectors. That solves a lot of problems.
