The bicycle trick was used last year in Charlotsville VA. The green wieners were giddy with pride at the roll out of the program. Last month it was called a failure as many of the bikes have DISAPPEARED!The MENTAL-environists never learn.

Houston's bike plan got them "government" $$$ for making the roads less efficient. All over town, 2 lane roads became 1 lane + a (never used) bicycle lane or 2 narrow lanes and a (never used) bicycle lane.

I've seen police riding bicycles on the sidewalk along side the bicycle lane. I've seen a few bicyclists riding next to the bicycle lane (in exercise attire; this was meant to replace commuter traffic).

Someone got rich repainting all of those roads. And when they laid down new reflectors, the ratio was 1 to 5 (where there were 5, now there is 1 if any); this makes it hard to see the lanes at night when the roads are wet (or flooded).

Throughput of many roads was effectively cut in half doubling the wear on the lane and increasing congestion and pollution. Government inaction...

#12....... I think the reason it works in Denmark, is that the streets lets say in Copenhagen are so narrow, it's hard to navigate a car there, we no longer take the car to town, we take the subway instead.
We are going to Europe next year, will see if the bike program is still in effect.
